Is there something you didn’t quite get in a lecture? The PAL program is designed to help you process and understand the information you received. PAL is the ultimate support system for first-year students in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science and Physics. With the added bonus of learning new ways to take notes, prepare for class/midterms and a great way to have support amongst your peers. Students who attend PAL will on average earn a half-full letter grade higher.
