LEAD Weekly Study Sessions

LEAD (Learning Enhancement Across Disciplines) is a supplemental instruction program that supports student learning in Chemistry and Physics through regularly scheduled, group study sessions. Sessions are facilitated by peer educators who utilize collaborative activities to ensure peer-to-peer interaction in small groups. Peer educators are assigned to work specifically with one section of the course and tailor their weekly study sessions to the material presented in class. View the LEAD schedule here.
