SI Leaders
What is an SI Leader?
For all intents and purposes, SI leaders are tutors but the two jobs do differ. Whereas tutors support general subjects, like biology or mathematics, SI leaders support specific courses such as BIO 2423: Human Anatomy or MATH 1302: College Algebra. Also, SI leaders are paid to attend the targeted classes and design SI sessions (group study) based on the lectures.

Hello, my name is Sal Aguilar. I am the SI Leader for BIO 2423 Human Anatomy Lab. I became an SI Leader to help students establish good study habits and share my tips for success in anatomy lab. Helping students will also be a great refresher to keep my mind sharp in the subject. I look forward to meeting new faces this semester!
A little about myself: I am a post-baccalaureate biology student looking to apply to medical school and ultimately become a neurosurgeon. Interestingly enough, I have an Associate of Arts degree in Performing Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering.

Hello, I’m Chris Durand and I’m a Biology major with a double minor in Chemistry and History. This semester I am providing direct SI support to Dr. Russell’s MWF 11:00 a.m. BIO 1480 class. I strongly encourage anyone taking Principles of Biology with Russell or Guardiola to attend my SI sessions. I chose to become an SI Leader because I feel that teaching the material is the best way to know if you truly know the material. Plus, the job pays well.
