What I Learned
I have developed my leadership skills as well as my communication skills.
I have been able to offer support and guidance to the SI Leaders in the Biology Cohort.
I noticed where help was needed and offered some solutions
Biology Cohort
The Biology Cohort consists of all the biology and other similar courses, such as anatomy, SI Leaders and peer mentors. The cohort meets monthly to discuss session atmosphere, questions, and cover administration tasks. The cohort also provides an atmosphere of sharing and collaboration for activities or ways to present the information. I help lead the cohort along with the peer mentors and the program managers.
CAS Assistant
Due to being a student teacher this semester, spring 2025, I moved into a new role at CAS. I now do more administration work which includes making bi-weekly schedules for selected peer mentors and observation leaders. Additionally, I archive old planning and create QR codes for sessions. I maintain a line of communication between my boss and the leaders. I hold two office hours every week as well as attend mentor and cohort meetings which are held bi-weekly.
