Meet our SI Leaders

Supplemental instruction (SI) is an academic support model that uses peer learning to improve university student retention and student success in high-attrition courses. Unlike tutoring, SI is attached to the course and not the student. Supplemental Instruction "provides regularly scheduled, out-of-class, peer-facilitated sessions that offer students an opportunity to discuss and process course information. SI leaders are recruited exclusively by faculty that will partner with the SI leader to plan, coordinate, and conduct sessions where review of material, content, for exams, or introductory level concepts or content, takes place.
