Abstract

AAC&U LEAP has identified teaching and learning practices that research has shown to be beneficial for college student learning and retention. These High Impact Practices (HIPS) include common intellectual experiences, learning communities, collaborative projects, undergraduate research, service learning/community based learning, internships, global experiences, and capstone courses. This session will show how HIPS can be leveraged at Mason.
