The American Association of Colleges and Universities has designed the teaching and learning practices outlined below as “high-impact practices,” (HIPs). Their research shows that purposefully participating in the practices provides lasting educational benefits for students, particularly students who have been historically underserved by our educational institutions. HIPs ask students to explore critical issues, in community, and to reflect on what they have gained through this experience.
