Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leaders

The SI Leader application for Summer and Fall 2023 is now closed! All positions have been filled.

SI Leaders provide academic support for students in historically difficult courses throughout the semester. An SI Leader differs from a TA or tutor because the SI Leader attends lectures with their students, plans and executes weekly session plans (similar to “lesson planning”), and provides content support beyond homework help.

Benefits of serving as an SI Leader:

Gain the ability to review and master introductory content
Gain valuable teaching experience
Gain strong leadership, presentation, and mentorship experience
Network with faculty, Academic Success Center staff, other student leaders, and peers

For more information, please contact Mary Doroff at doroff1@stolaf.edu.
