The HSU strategic plan calls for increased efforts to integrate High Impact Practices into our courses, especially those that contribute to retention, commitment to one's major, and professional equity for URM and First-Generation College Students. Teaching through Service Learning and Academic Internships are proven HIPs that connect students to the community and the curriculum to the realities beyond the classroom. Come hear from some of our own excellent practitioners and ask them about the pedagogy, best practices, challenges, and rewards of integrating these practices into your own courses.
Each of the following faculty will provide 3-4 minute, concise summaries of what their programs look like and then we will open the forum for questions and answers.
Karen August: Sociology and Criminology & Justice Studies
Yvonne Doble: Social Work
Amy Sprowels: Biological Sciences
Jennifer Tarlton: Environmental Science & Management
Beth Wilson: Economics
James Woglom: Art Education
A light lunch will be provided by the Center for Community Based Learning
