Two more coronavirus-related cancellations/modifications to add to the pile:
The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor announced Friday it is cancelling April 26 commencement ceremonies at the Big House. President Mark Schlissel tweeted today:
I recognize the difficulties #COVID19 has created and appreciate the engagement and support we've seen within our community. Today, we take further important action to reduce density & protect the health & safety of our staff, faculty, and students. https://t.co/DZjKoZcK53 pic.twitter.com/kqlWyfHa89

And the Downtown Synagogue will hold a virtual Sabbath service and Torah study, via Zoom meeting technology.
"I know a virtual community is not the same as being in-person, but it is far better than being without each other," wrote Rabbi Ariana Silverman in an email to congregants and others on the synagogue's mailing list. Contact the synagogue for meeting ID and log-in information.
