Learning Assistants

Learning Assistants (LAs) develop active-learning instructional skills, practice those skills, and participate in transforming instruction. They do this by engaging in teaching activities such as leading and facilitating discussions of small groups of students in classes and/or help sessions, providing test review sessions, and tutoring. Faculty looking for LAs will post announcements at the beginning of the semester.
