UMSI students, you’re invited to submit this quick form for a chance to have your experience featured on UMSI social media: myumi.ch/8J5wP

Congratulations, Dr. Hou! 🎉 UMSI's Xinying Hou successfully defended her dissertation, "Advancing Personalized, Engaging Learning and Assessment in the AI Era." 👏

The 10th cohort of UMSI’s Community College Summer Institute just wrapped three days on campus — and what a jam-packed, fun-fueled, info-tacular three days it was!

27 community college students from across Michigan explored real-deal information science topics like artificial intelligence, privacy, programming and user experience; connected with UMSI faculty, staff and current students; and relaxed with soccer, badminton, spikeball and visits to the Nichols Arboretum and Pinball Pete’s.

By the end of the program, every participant earned an official transfer readiness certificate — and the knowledge that landing at U-M is achievable. More than 100 CCSI alumni have already proven it.
