College of Arts and Sciences Learning Assistants Program

Spring 2026 LA Courses:

STEP Learning Assistants (LAs) are returning to the College of Arts and Sciences for the Spring 2026 semester.  Data suggests that students who work with LAs are more successful than those who do not.  We are looking for LAs that have successfully earned an A or B in the above courses and are interested in helping other students succeed.
