Mission
Learning Assistants (LAs) are undergraduates in the College of Science who are interested in unique educational opportunities such as participation in undergraduate instruction, course innovation, peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring (etc.) and the chance to work closely with Mason faculty. The LA program has three main goals:

1) Facilitate the learning of undergraduates in classrooms, labs, help rooms, and other venues though the use of Learning Assistants who understand the material and attend the course lectures.
2) Deepen the LAs understanding of important concepts of the course in which they are working by having them assist the learning of other undergraduates. 3) Expose LAs to the process of teaching and learning through weekly workshops and hands-on teaching experience.
