“The program provides students with both general resources and learning sessions with supplemental instruction leaders who recently completed the specific course(s) the students are taking.”

“SI are real students who have been in your shoes and can clarify even the hardest topics.”

Amelia Sayer
SPT, Class of 2026
“Before becoming an SI Leader, attending SI sessions was a game-changer for me. Anatomy was especially challenging at times, but hearing how other students approached tough concepts—like different ways to visualize muscle layers or remember nerve pathways—made everything click. That experience gave me the confidence and tools I needed to succeed, and it inspired me to become an SI Leader so I can help others in the same way.”

“SI’s work closely with professors and students to help better explain challenging concepts. SIs are a valuable resource to students, allowing the same information presented in lectures to be re-explained in terms that students may understand better.”
