SUMMARY:Other:QMSS Community Hours: Winter 2026
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nQMSS 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.\n\nDuring 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!\n\nOpen to all students! Light snacks will be provided & soft coffee house-style background music will be played during the events.\n\nThe image alt-text of the Winter 2026 QMSS Community Hours schedule is as follows:\n- Wednesday\, January 14 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, January 20 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, January 28 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 3 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 11 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, February 17 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, February 25 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 10 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, March 18 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, March 24 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 1 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 7 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Wednesday\, April 15 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm\n- Tuesday\, April 21 | QMSS 201 GSIs: 6-8pm | QMSS 301 GSIs: 6-8pm

SUMMARY:Tours:Subject Matters: How Did This Get Here?!
DESCRIPTION:Many of the objects on view at art museums have lived astonishingly mobile lives. Objects in UMMA’s African Art galleries are no different. They were created\, traded\, commissioned\, shipped\, inherited\, auctioned\, shipped again\, bought\, or otherwise passed through markets\, dealers\, and museums across multiple continents before arriving here in Ann Arbor.\n\nIn this *Subject Matters* event\, UMMA Curator Dave Choberka and UMMA’s Assistant Curator of African Art Ashley Miller unpack the complicated journeys some works of art take and how several objects in the *We Write to You About Africa* exhibition made their way to UMMA. We will consider the legacies of colonialism in the history of the African collection and focus on the new art UMMA has acquired to create a vibrant museum experience for our visitors.\n\nThis 90-minute event digs into provenance\, cultural exchange\, colonial entanglements\, contemporary market dynamics\, and the ethical questions museums face when artworks have long\, layered histories.

SUMMARY:Performance:Akropolis Reed Quintet
DESCRIPTION:As the first ensemble to be given the Paul Boylan Award by the SMTD Alumni Board\, Akropolis Reed Quintet will perform a recital at 8:00 pm on Tuesday\, March 10\, 2026 in Stamps Auditorium. The program will include the world premiere of a new work by SMTD student composer and soprano\, Mikeila McQueston\, who will also perform with Akropolis on her new composition. Additional works programmed will include Derrick Skye's *A Soulful Nexus*\, commissioned by Akropolis with support of the Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Fund\, and a feature on the quintet's forthcoming 7th album. \n\nABOUT THE ENSEMBLE\n\nAkropolis Reed Quintet is:\nTimothy Gocklin (BM ’12\, oboe) \nKari Landry (BM ’13\, MM ’13\, clarinet) \nMatt Landry (BM ’10\, saxophone) \nAndrew Koeppe (attended ’12\, clarinet) \nRyan Reynolds (BM ’12\, MM ’14\, bassoon)                        \n\nFounded in 2009\, the Grammy Award-winning Akropolis Reed Quintet is “a sonically daring ensemble who specializes in performing new works with charisma and integrity” (*BBC Music Magazine*). Comprising five reed players and entrepreneurs unbounded by limits or categorization\, Akropolis has graced the Classical Billboard charts with each of their last three albums\, including the #2 spot in April 2024\, and has won seven national chamber music prizes\, including the 2014 Fischoff Gold Medal. Having premiered and commissioned more than 200 works by living artists and composers\, they are pioneers and champions of a new genre of classical music – the reed quintet.\n\nComposed of the same five members that brought about its founding over 15 years ago at the University of Michigan\, Akropolis delivers 120 concerts and educational events worldwide each year at luminary series including Tanglewood\, Bravo! Vail\, University Musical Society\, Chamber Music Northwest\, and more. Akropolis became the first ever Grammy-winning reed quintet with their 2024 album *Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?*\, in collaboration with Pascal Le Boeuf and drummer Christian Euman\, taking home Best Instrumental Composition for the track “Strands” at the 67th Grammy Awards held in February 2025.\n\nUtilizing their “sheer musical imagination” (*Gramophone*)\, the quintet is also known for powerful collaborations with youth and others within its Southeast Michigan community. Certified as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization\, Akropolis runs a Detroit-based summer festival called Together We Sound\; holds annual\, school-year-long music composition residencies at Cass Tech\, Martin Luther King Jr.\, and Detroit School of Arts high schools\; and produces the 10-day Chamber Music Institute focused on artist training and mentorship in Petoskey\, Michigan.
