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", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"144192-21894865@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/144192", "building_id":"1000165", "building_name":"Weiser Hall", "campus_maps_id":"47", "room":"110", "location_name":"Weiser Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Social Sciences","Office Hours","Quantitative Methods","Social","Transfer Students","Undergraduate Students","Free","Minors","Networking"], "website":"http:\/\/instagram.com\/umichqmss", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Quantitative Methods in the Social Sciences (QMSS)", "group_id":"4519", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/01\/event_144192_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":13, "first_occurrence":21894850 } , "143361-21892948": { "datetime_modified":"20260107T085848", "datetime_start":"20260203T180000", "datetime_end":"20260203T193000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-02-03", "date_end":"2026-02-03", "time_start":"18:00:00", "time_end":"19:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Staying Ahead of the Algorithm: Your Personal Deepfake Defense", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Staying Ahead of the Algorithm: Your Personal Deepfake Defense: MJ Cartwright, CEO, ProbeTruth and Khalid Malik, CTO, ProbeTruth", "event_subtitle":"MJ Cartwright, CEO, ProbeTruth and Khalid Malik, CTO, ProbeTruth", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"The digital world is evolving at lightning speed, making it harder than ever to distinguish between what is real and what is cleverly manipulated by AI.
