About the Event
At the Exposition, School of Information students will share posters, presentations, and videos of course and co-curricular projects, internships, and research. We hope this event provides an opportunity for you to learn more about our students' work and the possibilities this might present for you to submit a project proposal to the School of Information, or consider hiring one of our students if you have relevant open positions.
2024 UMSI Exposition Program
Held annually, the UMSI Student Project Exposition represents the culmination of projects completed by students through capstone and client-based courses, community-based programs and independent endeavors. The event will take place on Thursday, April 18, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Michigan League.
145 projects will be on display at this year’s Exposition, capturing an impressive range of topics — from demystifying methods for election prediction, to improving access to clean water among the homeless community in Ann Arbor.
A panel of UMSI alumni and industry experts will serve as judges, representing leading organizations including Zillow, Adobe, Trinity Health and the U-M Water Center. Top projects will earn awards in thematic and course-specific categories, with funding provided by the estate of Gerald P. Miller (AMLS ’86, PhD ’95) and the UMSI Miller Scholars Fund.

The University of Michigan School of Information was chartered in 1996 as a new school within the University with the mission to conduct research in, and to teach about, topics at the intersection of people, information, and technology; its roots trace back to 1926 as a library science department. Our award-winning faculty have training in computer science, library science, business, psychology, economics, education, history, and other fields, and they investigate topics ranging from digitization of archival documents to relationships on social media, from data analysis using machine intelligence to the economics of information.
