What Are High-Impact Practices, Anyway? February 27, 28

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 (AAC&U) has identified a number of high-impact learning practices (HIPs), for example, 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, and/or relevant community partners about substantive matters as well as frequent, constructive feedback from faculty and regular, structured processes for reflection and integration. Please register for one of the following sessions to learn more about how to integrate (or extend) HIPs into your classroom. Each session will be held in Butler Library 181B.

Tuesday, February 27, 12:15–1:30 p.m.
