Meet the Peer Academic Leaders

                                 Meet the Peer Academic Leaders 

Marshall Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) are academic student leaders and mentors. They help students enhance their mastery and understanding of course concepts, clarify course content, and help students improve their academic performance. PALs demonstrate a mastery of the subject material and can present a model of thinking about, organizing, and understanding course content.

Our PALs are ready to answer your questions during the Marshall Study Session time in order to supplement the instruction you receive in during lectures and/or discussions for the course. 

Are you interested in being a PAL for ECON 351, ECON 352, BUAD 306, BUAD 308, BUAD 310, or BUAD 311 in a future semester? Reach out to your instructor for more information.
