Dhruvi's transition from computer engineering to UX design was set in motion by an online course: "Extended Reality for Everybody," from UMSI associate professor @michinebeling. Check it out!
Following your curiosity can take you somewhere unexpected. 💡
For @DhruviJagani, trying an online course one random day from her home in India eventually helped lead her to two unforgettable years at @umsi.
See where curiosity can take you with Michigan Online.

AI-generated text now shows up in ~20% of self-published Amazon fiction, including nearly 1,000 titles that are 90%+ AI. A new study co-authored by UMSI’s Paramveer Dhillon finds that human authors are getting squeezed out by volume — not quality. 🔗 myumi.ch/mVJPj

“Users have maybe nothing to gain from spam. Whereas they can actually use generative AI for genuinely valuable contributions in a platform, and so that already makes it more complicated.”

One-third of venture teams incubated at the Impact Studio last year are continuing their ventures post-graduation. UMSI is proud to partner in the studio’s expansion to North Campus to support this trend by reaching more technical founders earlier in their journeys.
This September, @MichiganRoss Impact Studio is joining forces with U-M’s Center for Entrepreneurship and @umsi to bring its student entrepreneur incubator program straight to North Campus to empower the next generation of Michigan innovators! myumi.ch/pg7rZ
