SI Coordinator: Kathalena Rios, M.S.
My educational journey began at Mt. San Jacinto College in the Fall of 2011. During my time at MSJC, I took advantage of working at the college in several different departments in different roles. I served students of the college as a Mentor, Academic Tutor, SI Leader, and SI Mentor. I was hired on as the Supplemental Instruction Specialist for Mt. San Jacinto College in 2016. In 2020, I earned a Master’s Degree in Higher Education and Leadership and hope that I may continue to find new ways to support students in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential.

SI Specialist: David Rowell
I took my first classes at Mt. San Jacinto College during the summer of 2018. I joined the Supplemental Instruction Program in Fall 2019 as a leader for ASL 100 and 101. I continued leading in various ASL courses as well as mentoring for the program until June 2022 when I was hired on as the Supplemental Instruction Specialist here at MSJC. I earned an Associate in Arts in English for Transfer degree and an Associate in Science in Interpreter Preparation degree while at MSJC and am currently working towards my Bachelor’s Degree in English at CSU San Bernardino.

SI Leader Line Up
A Supplemental Instruction Leader (SIL) is a student that re-enters a course that they have previously completed successfully. SILs have, preferably, a previous relationship with the instructor of the SI targeted course. SILs serve as a “near-peer” to the students in class and model good student behavior (attend all classes, are attentive, take notes, and model organizational and study skills.) SILs conduct two out-of-class review sessions that enable participants to process the course content delivered in class. SIL are trained in the beginning of and throughout the semester.
*** If you are enrolled in a course that is supported with an SI Leader, please see your course Canvas Shell for session times.
