With her first year of teaching nearly finished, Sydney Barnett said she believes she can finally move on from her college self.
Barnett, from Cincinnati's West Side, graduated from Miami University with a bachelor's in music education in May 2020. But like so many other schools across the nation, her commencement ceremony was canceled due to COVID-19. She left Oxford in a blur and now teaches general music, choir and film studies at Lebanon City Schools.
At this point, she said, Barnett and her friends had come to terms with the fact that they would likely never get a graduation ceremony.
