Please join us for the Teaching and Learning Center workshop "What Are High-Impact Practices (HIPs), Anyway?" presented by John Draeger, director of the Teaching and Learning Center and professor of philosophy, on Wednesday, September 12, from 10:00 a.m. to noon in Chase Hall 109.

High-impact practices are experiences that have been shown to significantly improve student retention and academic outcomes for the students who engage in them. The Association of American Colleges and Universities has identified a number of high-impact learning practices, including undergraduate research, collaborative assignments, learning communities, service learning, study abroad, and freshman seminars. High-impact learning practices involve a significant investment of student effort over time with multiple interactions among faculty, students, or relevant community partners about substantive matters as well as frequent, constructive feedback from faculty and regular, structured processes for reflection and integration.

Light snacks will be provided. Please register through the Workshop Registration System.
