Learning Assistants

This program partners talented undergraduates with faculty teaching large-enrollment courses to create learner-centered classrooms that are conceptually driven, cognitively challenging, and authentic to the discipline. LAs’ primary responsibilities include working with small teams of students, either within a large-lecture meeting, in recitation, and/or in office hours.

Peer Mentor Program

This program was developed to encourage and support students toward success, personally, socially and academically. The main purpose is to enhance the college experience by creating a positive and supportive community of peers; a welcoming environment of students who are available to advise, listen and share experiences.
