3 MSU students killed in shooting to receive degrees from university

The three Michigan State University students who were killed in the mass shooting on campus will receive posthumous degrees, university officials said Thursday.

The families of Arielle Anderson of Harper Woods, Brian Fraser of Grosse Pointe and Alexandria Verner of Clawson have confirmed their interest in accepting the degrees on behalf of their loved ones, MSU spokesman Dan Olsen told The Detroit News.

Though details of when and how the degrees will be received haven't been fully planned with the families, Olsen said posthumous degrees usually are awarded during the upcoming commencement ceremony, which in this case would be the spring commencements. Those are scheduled for May 5-7, with the dates depending on the college of study.
