The Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader plays a key role in enhancing student learning and academic success. SI Leaders facilitate peer-led group study sessions for students enrolled in historically challenging courses. By offering regular, collaborative study sessions, SI Leaders help students develop study strategies, reinforce course content, and improve their academic performance. SI Leaders are expected to attend all course lectures, model effective study habits, and create an inclusive learning environment. KU's Wingspan: Center for Learning and Writing Support offers a portfolio of collaborative, innovative academic support programs and services to students, faculty, and staff. The Wingspan provides individual and group support through its Peer Academic Coaching program, Supplemental Instruction (SI) program, Tutoring Services, and Writing Center Services. UASC supports the University's commitment to the academic success and holistic development of students. UASC programs encourage student participation both in and out of the classroom, support academic and personal development, and link students to other campus and community resources for academic and personal support and development.
