Few people have even heard of a young scholar making his way out of high school with a 5.037 GPA much less being able to claim they sat in the same classroom. Students at Shadow Ridge High School in Las Vegas can make that claim if they happened to be in the same class as Trelas A. Dyson IV.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Western Michigan University has created a special ceremony to recognize 2020 and 2021 graduates, who did not get to experience in-person commencements because of the coronavirus pandemic.

It’ll be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2 in Waldo Stadium, according to a news release Thursday.

Graduates from four classes – who will be assembled on the stadium field in front of staging situated on the west end zone – will be able to cross the stage while their family and friends watch the traditional rite of passage.
