2023 HIP Show & Tell Event

Welcome to Capstone Candyland!  Follow the trail (collecting candy along the way) to explore various Capstone Experiences from across campus. Guests will have an opportunity to engage with instructors leading these efforts to explore how ideas related to Capstone Experiences can translate to their own disciplines…maybe even discover opportunities to collaborate!!

Participants will have the chance to share their work with common intellectual experiences, learn about two such experiences on our campus (One Book, One Community Read, Sitting Pretty by Rebekah Taussig and General Education Learning Outcomes), suggest ideas for future common intellectual experiences for our campus community while participating in the HIP Show and Tell, another example of a common intellectual experience. BTW, save the date for Rebekah Taussig’s visit on November 8/9, 2023.

We invite you to explore the “Gallery Walk” that consists of several stations. Beyond traditional study-abroad options, this practice can include courses and programs that help students explore cultures, life experiences, and world views different from their own and that may address US diversity, world cultures, or both—often exploring “difficult differences” such as racial, ethnic, and gender inequality, or continuing struggles around the globe for social justice.

Create – The University of Arkansas has adopted WordPress as “THE” tech supported platform on campus for ePortfolios. 
Resources – The ePortfolio textbook is online and free of charge.

ePortfolios are websites that allow someone to “show what they know.” They can showcase professional skills or they be used for assesment. We want to supply you with the tools you need to start an ePortfolio practice or to refine and existing one. Let eportfolios make all the other HIPS work for you.

Explore strategies to support and encourage students in seeking internships, no matter what their major or career plans! Speak with experts from on and off-campus from: Venture Internship Program, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Crystal Bridges’ internships, EMPOWER, I3R and more. Learn about the new Career Launch program and the PACE microcertificate and how these prepare students to find and get the most from amazing internship experiences.

Wander through a series of display boards representing a variety of Learning Communities on our campus. Come by ready to learn more from these programs and also help us collect and brainstorm other learning communities examples we have or should have at the UofA.

Interested in seeing how service connects with or leads to deeper learning? Come to room 203 to learn how faculty are incorporating service elements into their courses, groups on campus are assisting with student volunteer opportunities, and to brainstorm ways that we can all improve the university, student learning, and the wider community with service opportunities.

Undergrad research will be hosting a scavenger hunt using the library website that involves participants visiting the other HIP stations. There will be small prizes for completing the scavenger hunt and they will be entered into a raffle for larger prizes. We will also have library and research informational handouts, and there will be additional resources from OUR and I3R.

Wellness is the active process through which a person becomes aware of, and makes choices toward, a more successful existence. To this end, the Wellness HIP Team invites attendees to share their firsthand observations about Wellness trends, opportunities, and challenges that face U of A students as we work toward creating a campus community that embraces Wellness.

Think your class can’t incorporate writing? It’s easier than you think. Join us as we experiment with AI models like ChatGPT and Bard inside and outside the classroom; explore the ways that some of our non-writing-focused programs have embedded writing into their curricula; and then spend some time with the team brainstorming ways that this HIP can elevate your own courses.
