The Rinella Learning Center may be the place for you! SI Leaders are integral members of the Rinella Learning Center staff who work toward the mission of helping students reach their individual academic goals by empowering them with skills needed to be independent and successful learners.

The SI Leader job responsibilities include: attending the course connected with SI (i.e. ECO 201 or BMZ 115), facilitating SI review sessions two times each week and completing SI training in the form of EDT 310: Tutoring Adult Learners (a one credit course). You take the course during the same semester that you are an SI Leader. We meet three times in person and the remainder of the course is completed on Blackboard.

We pay SI Leaders $7.70 per hour and this rate is given for time spent in class and SI sessions, doing prep work and meeting with the instructor. Generally SI Leaders work 6-10 hours per week. SI Leaders must have a 3.0 GPA in the courses they hold SI sessions for and maintain a 2.76 cumulative GPA.
