HIPS Institute Overview
Get ready for the 2024 Institute on High-Impact Practices and Student Success! For almost fifteen years, AAC&U has been a leader on evidence-based high-impact practices (HIPs) that empower institutions to be more intentional in developing strategies to achieve equity in student success outcomes across diverse student populations. Building on this foundation, AAC&U has designed a dynamic 2024 institute program that is relevant to the current higher education environment and reflects on the “why” and “how” behind high-impact practices (HIPs). HIPs provide hands-on learning and increase student engagement, leading to a better alignment of knowledge attainment with degree completion and career-readiness goals. All of which best serve the student, institution, and broader society.
During the 2024 institute, teams will have the opportunity to collaborate with distinguished faculty members to discover innovative approaches to creating effective curricular and co-curricular designs for learning and assessment practices that connect with your students' unique strengths; their cultural wealth, identities, and values, to transform their educational experiences and to prepare them for success. The institute program will focus on developing campus action plans to embed high-impact practices across all disciplines and build capacity for these wraparound services that will support educating the whole student.
