WHAT ARE HIPS AND HOW WILL THEY HELP ME?

High impact practices (HIPs) are engaging, experiential learning activities that, when done well, appear to engage students at levels that elevate their performance across multiple measures such as persistence (Kuh, 2008). High-impact practices can help students develop skills such as communication, problem solving, and critical thinking that are essential in the workplace and that transfer to a wide range of settings (Inside Higher Ed). 

The office of Student Engagement in Research and Innovation (SERI) serves as a hub connecting students with high impact practices across the university. The SERI staff are dedicated to the university goal of conducting high-impact research and innovation to advance frontiers of knowledge, solve global problems and improve lives. 

Whether you are interested in conducting undergraduate research, learning to be a global citizen, or finding other opportunities to participate in high impact educational practices, the SERI office is here to help! Email us at rsch-seri@usf.edu.
