Good morning, Ann Arbor.

Scammers posing as Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office employees contacted residents via phone, text and email to demand money and gift cards while threatening arrest and other penalties — the sheriff’s office said they would never ask for such compensation and urged residents to verify any contact by calling 734-994-2911 or 911.

Derek Jeter, the spring 2025 commencement speaker, told University of Michigan graduates at Michigan Stadium on May 3 to follow their dreams and work hard — even if it means sacrificing comfort — and choose passion for success.

He urged students to make clear, thoughtful choices as they step into the next chapter of their lives.

At the University of Michigan graduation on May 3, only a few protesters were seen and the event remained largely undisturbed—graduates briefly waved keffiyeh scarves during remarks while a small demonstration moved along Stadium Boulevard.

Compared to last year's more disruptive protest, this ceremony stayed peaceful.
