In Jasmine Williams family, graduating from the University of Michigan is a rite of passage. Her parents met on the campus, and her older sister graduated from the school a few years ago. She remembers sitting bundled up in the family section for that graduation. It was overwhelming to feel so many people that proud, she says, I remember sitting there watching her, and that was probably the first time I was like, OK, yeah, I like this. I can t wait to do this.
This year, Williams own graduation will look a bit different. The main undergraduate ceremony will be all virtual, though the university has invited students to watch that ceremony from the football stadium on campus known as the Big House. There will be no family members in attendance, and students will be required to have a negative COVID-19 test result to enter.
