Eastern has put together a pre-recorded ceremony that features remarks from University President James Smith and the deans of the five colleges. The video will be made available to graduates and the general public on Saturday at 9:30 am through a web link on the university’s website. Students names will not be read, but they will be displayed as part of the video. Sydney Pope from Ypsilanti will be among the graduates.
Sydney Pope: Me and my family we’re just going to watch the celebration and I’m going to be in my cap and gown. I’m going to Snapchat and take some videos and whatnot.
