In this introductory session, participants will explore the foundations of High Impact Practices (HIPs) and their role in enhancing student learning and engagement. Through guided discussion and practical examples, the session will cover what defines a practice as “high impact,” key elements that contribute to its effectiveness, how HIPs shape the undergraduate experience, and strategies for integrating and assessing HIPs—especially for underserved student populations.
