Teaching Innovation and Pedagogical Support

This U of A resource contains general information about HIPs, as well as some examples of HIP centered activities and courses on our campus.

“When I am asked, what one thing we can do to enhance student engagement and increase student success? I now have an answer: make it possible for every student to participate in at least two high impact activities during his or her undergraduate program.”

George D. Kuh

Chancellor’s Professor of Higher Education Emeritus at Indiana University and adjunct research professor of education policy at the University of Illinois
