University of Michigan issued the following announcement on April 24.
The University of Michigan will honor its spring Class of 2020 with a day of online activities, videos and special interactive features May 2, after the university’s traditional commencement celebrations were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Spring Celebration 2020 website, commencement.umich.edu, will serve as a central location for activities, links to various other campus celebrations, and a few surprises.
The university’s social media channels on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram also will provide a wide variety of content throughout the day.
“Commencement is a very special time for all of us at U-M,” President Mark Schlissel said in an email to students earlier this month. “We all recognize how great an accomplishment this is and share the goal of making a commencement ceremony as meaningful as possible when we are able.”
The university is working with members of the Ann Arbor campus’ Class of 2020 to find a future date for an official, in-person ceremony. Suggestions can be emailed to springcommencement@umich.edu.
