Specific details are still being worked out with the families, but commencements are scheduled to take place May 5 through May 7.

Alexandria Verner, 20, from Clawson was a junior studying biology.
Arielle Anderson, 19, from Grosse Pointe was a junior and an aspiring surgeon.
Brian Fraser, 20, from Grosse Pointe was a sophomore studying business.
