Since 1999 the SLC Peer-Led Study Group Program has provided opportunities for students enrolled in introductory natural science courses to meet on a weekly basis with a group of up to 13 peers to review course material, solve problems, and gain an understanding of course concepts. Study groups are facilitated by Peer Leaders who have already successfully completed the course, and are trained in facilitation techniques.

Each year over 6,000 students participate in SLC Study Groups. Why, because study groups provide a dynamic opportunity to study and interact with peers. The meetings are designed to engage all group members and are not meant to be tutoring or review sessions led solely by the leader. Leaders use facilitation techniques encouraging and supporting members to teach and learn from each other. Study Group membership is voluntary, but members are required to attend regularly and participate actively.
