QMSS Community Hours are open to all students as a place to build community, work, study, and get help & support from QMSS Peer Mentors and GSIs.

QMSS Community Hours are designed to be a casual, supportive, weekly community-building and open study hours event for students in the QMSS Community (i.e., students previously or currently enrolled in any QMSS courses, declared QMSS minors, and student friends of the QMSS program). QMSS Community Hours are a supplement to traditional office hours during which students can come to chat with QMSS Peer Mentors, make friends in the QMSS program, and work independently or in groups on problem sets, projects, and/or exam studying.

During Community Hours, 1-2 GSIs from each QMSS 201 and QMSS 301 course will be present for at least 1 hour for potential student questions, and there will be plenty of open space to work on your own or with friends without a GSI if that's what you prefer. QMSS Peer Mentors will always be present for the entire event to chat about navigating the QMSS minor, finding, applying for, and getting offers for summer internships that utilize QMSS skills, life as a student at the University of Michigan, or anything else they've been thinking about lately and seeking additional support or resources for!

Open to all students! Light snacks will be provided & soft coffee house-style background music will be played during the events.
