ANN ARBOR – The University of Michigan has announced that its Spring Commencement will take place virtually on May 1 at noon.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues, the decision was made to keep the ceremony online for a second year.
During a normal year, Michigan Stadium would be bustling with graduates, their friends and family. Now, it is being utilized by Michigan Medicine to vaccinate thousands of people against COVID-19.

University of Michigan Regent Ron Weiser has been called complicit in last week’s storming of the U.S. Capitol by the writers of an online petition that calls for his resignation after he failed to place blame on President Trump. The evidence is clear: Ron Weiser is complicit in Wednesday’s historic and horrifying events, and continues to defend their instigators, a Change.org petition written by members of the University of Michigan community reads. We demand that he either resign or be recalled by the Board of Regents, and we expect President Schlissel to condemn this threat to all students of color on campus.
