Supplemental Instruction Leaders

SI Leaders are here to support your success! They’re recommended by faculty for their strong performance in the course and trained to lead collaborative study sessions. SI Leaders attend lectures alongside you, take notes, and stay engaged as fellow students. Each week, they facilitate an SI session filled with interactive strategies to strengthen study skills and deepen understanding of the course material.
