First-year MSI student Emma Laszlo walks through two early projects showcasing hands-on, impact-driven UX research and design.
During her 23 years at UMSI, Smith helped guide the school through two decades of growth amid rapid technological change. She retired from her role as senior executive assistant to Dean Andrea Forte in December 2025.
Now, UMSI has established an annual staff award in her honor. The Barb Smith “Making It Better” Award recognizes a staff member whose everyday actions and thoughtful initiatives make the workplace better for others.
“I have seen firsthand how essential staff are to the success of the school,” Smith said. “This recognition is deeply meaningful to me because it reflects a shared commitment to valuing staff contributions.”

Summer internship spotlights ☀️

High school student asks: “What is information?” 💬
“‘What is information?’ is a question many at UMSI are called upon to have a ready, succinct answer to, whether you teach and do research in the field or are a student or staff member,” James says. “Yet information science is a rich and multifaceted tapestry of activities and disciplines that stubbornly defies easy explanation.
“Still, Avan Zaman, a curious and likable high school senior, does a wonderful job interviewing three UMSI professors and posing this very question.”

Art, algorithms and imagining alternative futures with Sophia Brueckner 🧵
“Whenever I have the opportunity to do an environmental portrait, I know it’s going to be a good day,” Jeff says, “but this photo shoot with associate professor Sophia Brueckner was particularly memorable.”
“I visited Sophia’s home art studio to capture photos of her in her element, which on that day meant embroidering a hat as part of her ‘Disruptive Camo’ project. I don’t think there is another place on Earth where you will find a 19th-century Greek Revival farmhouse with a barn-like art studio filled with boxes of electronics, a decked-out soldering station, Laura Ashley-inspired camo gunstock and deer blind shaped like a canopy bed, and track lighting set up by the Detroit Institute of Arts’ specialist."

“‘How do we create a more accessible world?’” Anna quotes from the opening line of assistant professor Venkatesh Potluri’s feature. “This question is very near and dear to my heart, which is why this was my favorite story we wrote this year.
“Venkatesh is serious about making sure his accessibility work reaches not just other researchers, but also the people who really need it and will be affected by it."
