• Become a Peer Mentor with the Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) program!

Students helping students learn.

The underlying philosophy of the PAL program and each of its subprograms is to provide learning opportunities in a positive and safe and comfortable environment.  

During the 2012 - 2013 year over 90 Peer Mentors are participating in our PAL program, taking part in developing and delivering support programs to assist students like you in your academic career. Some of the Peer Mentors lead course-specific study groups assigned to a select set of larger, traditionally difficult undergraduate courses, some provide support for study and learning skills by leading small-group workshops, and others work with specialized projects at the U of S.
