Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leaders are student leaders who provide weekly, peer-led study sessions for traditionally challenging courses. The role of an SI Leader is to help students in their assigned course develop a better understanding of the course material through active, collaborative learning involving critical thinking, transferable study skills, and fun. Rather than teaching or directly answering questions, SI Leaders facilitate and guide students to finding answers for themselves. SI Leaders typically work with small to medium sized groups of students, with some courses occasionally having large groups before exams.

SI Leader selection occurs during the middle of fall and spring semesters for the upcoming semester.
