Fauci to U-M 2020 grads: Be aware of ‘distortions of reality’ by ‘certain elected officials’ – By David Jesse & Arpan Lobo (Detroit Free Press) / May 7, 2022
Marissa Inga and Ilana Char stood just on the edge of Michigan Stadium on Saturday morning, wide smiles and laughs spilling out as they mugged for selfies and FaceTime calls.
It’s been two years since the pair last walked the University of Michigan’s campus, sweating out exams and research papers.
Their 2020 class didn’t get a chance to have a traditional commencement ceremony. It was canceled at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the wait didn’t dampen their spirits.
“In some ways it’s better,” Inga said. “We aren’t worried about jobs and what’s next and where we are going. It’s kind of nice to be settled in and come back. It’s like a high school reunion, only better. And having Dr. (Anthony) Fauci as the speaker is perfect.”
