ALLIES in STEM

Meet the PALs

The ALLIES in STEM Center employs Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) who work to support the success of our program and our students.

Peer Mentors participate in faculty-sponsored research, live & work with our STEM Academy over the summer, and serve as Mentors to first-year STEM Scholars throughout the academic year.
Peer Tutors work within STEM departments to offer one-on-one tutoring support to all students.
Student Workers are integral members of our ALLIES in STEM Center staff. They provide administrative support to our team, & connect all students & Center visitors to appropriate ALLIES in STEM resources.
Supplemental Instruction Leaders work within historically difficult gateway STEM courses. They provide support & guidance for excelling in these difficult classes.
STEM Stewards are returning second year STEM Scholars. These students serve as Mentors to second-year STEM Scholars throughout the academic year.
