About PAL

- PLC-facilitated Study Hall sessions to help you stay on track with your workload
Program Mission
Our mission in PAL is to provide:
- Collaborative, peer-facilitated, content-based learning support for students.
- Support in applying effective studying and group learning methods for students.
- And an engaged learning experience that is aligned with The Furman Advantage for Peer Learning Consultants.
To put it in a shorter soundbite: we want to help students become better learners!
