MSI/MHI Virtual Visit Days 2026

Virtual Visit Days are the online counterpart to our in-person visit event, designed for newly admitted MSI and MHI students who want to start connecting with the UMSI community from wherever they are. Held across multiple days, these virtual sessions give you the opportunity to learn more about the people, resources, and experiences that will shape your time at UMSI.

During these sessions, you’ll hear from a range of UMSI staff teams who support students throughout their graduate journey, including the Career Development Office, Engaged Learning Office, and Academic Success Team. Presentations will highlight career preparation resources, experiential learning opportunities, academic support, and funding options available to graduate students.

You’ll also have the chance to attend short “lightning lectures” from UMSI faculty, offering a preview of the kinds of ideas, research, and discussions that define the classroom experience.

Whether you’re exploring the opportunities available to you or beginning to picture life at UMSI and in Ann Arbor, Virtual Visit Days are a great way to start building connections with the community before the semester begins.
