Why Are HIP Practices so Important to Students?...
Where and how are we accomplishing these at CWU?
HIGH IMPACT PRACTICES:
• Create an environment that helps students get to know each other and
support the development of long-term friendships;
• Provide the opportunity to work collaboratively in diverse teams;
• Enhance students’ intellectual capacity and the ability to utilize the
content they are learning in the classroom in real-life experiences;
• Encourage innovation, entrepreneurship, and community involvement;
• Increase the skills, behaviors and competencies employers seek in new
employees.

Continued check list of where and how this is
happening at CWU…
• Devote considerable time and effort to purposeful tasks
• Regular daily decision and deepened student investment in the activity as
well as their commitment to their academic program and college.
• Puts students in circumstances that essentially demand they interact with
faculty and peers about substantive matters, typically over an extended
period of time
• Students get feedback and making anonymity impossible.
• Increases the likelihood that students will experience diversity through
contact with people who are different from themselves.
• Regular evaluative performance provided from a faculty, peer, mentor,
staff member
• Apply what they are learning to different settings on and off campus.
Learning is deep, meaningful and integrate and synthesize learning.
• Life changing experiences, transformative experiences “just connect”
