SI leaders are knowledgeable, qualified students who have taken the targeted SI course on campus and received a good grade. They should have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher, be organized and good managers of their time, have good communication skills, and possess leadership ability. Leaders must be able to attend all SI course lectures, hold three 50-minute sessions a week, hold an office hour, attend leader training and bi-weekly SI leader meetings, complete and submit paperwork on time, and communicate regularly with the course professor, the students, and the SI staff. Being an SI leader is a rewarding experience. The leader becomes an "expert" in the course content, which can help with upper level courses. This position can be counted as a Co-op or Internship with transcript recognition and included on a resume. Leaders gain and improve leadership and communication skills.
