SI leaders also need to display
the rare and valuable ability to ed
ucate, thereby showing their knack
for reaching and conveying a com
plicated idea in a way that can be
understood by any student, inter
ested or bored, asleep or awake,

ship recipient.
Most importantly, SI leaders
need to show versatility in their
skills. A genuine SI leader
should be able to convey the
content of the lecture simply,
look into the students’ blank
stares despondently, cry like a
coal-miner’s widow and waste
the night away eating chocolate.

can then concentrate on winning
the Big 12 Championship.

considering utilizing the SI ses
