Emily said of SI, "The Supplemental Instruction program will always be an important part of my story. The program gave me the opportunity to become more confident in front of a group of people. What is more important is it gave me the opportunity to meet new people and help create positive change in their lives. Up until the day I graduated, I still saw students who came to my sessions. It was amazing to hear how far they had come since we met and where they were going after graduation. Many of them would come and say, 'you are the only reason I passed Chemistry.' That definitely touches my heart, but I always replied that I just believed in them and helped them learn better study methods. They did all the hard work!"
