CTL Faculty Fellows play a key role in advancing teaching and learning initiatives at Hamline, with a focus on high-impact practices (HIPs), AI literacy, and assessment. Working in partnership with faculty and staff, the Fellows support the integration of evidence-based teaching strategies that promote student engagement, equity, and success. This includes helping faculty design and assess high-impact learning experiences, thoughtfully incorporate AI into teaching and learning, and use assessment practices to improve courses and programs. Through collaboration, consultation, and programming, the CTL Fellows contribute to a culture of reflective, innovative, and student-centered teaching.

CTL Faculty Fellows for High Impact Practices (HIPs) (2024-present)
Drs. Greenman and Oxendine coordinate the work of the HIPs Team, which focuses on integrating and evaluating HIPs across Hamline’s curriculum. Their work includes developing models for embedding high-impact experiences across courses and programs, coordinating institution-wide assessment of HIPs, and supporting faculty development through the Strengthening Institutions Program (EdD) grant.
HIPs programming within the Strengthening Institutions Projects (SIP) grant has been a full campus implementation, from general programming to different methods of participation in the intensive summer workshop. HIPs programming has been integrated into Professional Development Days since the start of the SIPs grant in 2023, ensuring continuous training for all faculty and staff. The comprehensive, three day summer workshops equip participants with the tools and supportive framework to embed the eight core characteristics of effective HIPs into their courses and student experiences. This workshop also actively engages students, faculty, and staff as panelists, presenters, and participants of the summer workshop who serve as HIPs ambassadors sharing what they have learned with colleagues within and outside of their programs. As a direct result of the summer workshop, faculty have embedded HIPs in their courses and staff have integrated them into their work with students. To date, 83 unique faculty and staff members have been trained, resulting in at least 90 distinct, enhanced/new classes or advising projects. These implementations span every academic division and range from introductory FYSEMS and 1xxx level classes to graduate classes.
