Starting this week, we are pleased to introduce our new "YOUR BRAIN BELONGS @ WashU" student support programming. On alternating Friday afternoons this semester, we will be holding a neuroinclusive workshop series on executive function and peer accountability groups. All students are welcome to attend any or all sessions. Visit our website for more information, or complete this interest form to receive event updates and reminders!

This new Learning Center program is intended to connect students with shared study interests who are seeking to work in a collaborative learning environment.

Students can complete this form to request to join a study group or let Learning Center staff
know about an existing study group that has room for more members. For more information,

“My support provides a bridge to college level classes by encouraging and guiding students in one of their first semesters. I offer resources and advice on how to study and succeed in science classes, creating stronger and more confident students.”

The Learning Center employs over 300 undergraduates across its various programs. In each release of this newsletter, we plan to highlight some of the amazing students who support their fellow students as peer leaders, mentors, and coaches. 

This month, we are proud to spotlight Naima Pyarali, a senior Biology and Anthropology major and Matched Academic Mentor for Principles of Biology at the Learning Center, who was recently featured in the Center for Career Engagement’s Student Employee Success Stories. Check out the article here!
