SLCC High-Impact Practices

Student Reflection Showcase

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) is committed to fostering High Impact Practices (HIPs) throughout its curriculum. Identified by George Kuh and popularized through the efforts of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), HIPs are specific pedagogies that—when done well—have positive effects on deep learning, student retention and ultimately student success. They ask students to produce educationally purposeful work that is the result of sustained engagement with unscripted challenges, using active and self-reflective methods in realistic contexts, and marked by formative and summative feedback from faculty and peers.

The President’s Office financially supports students participating in High-Impact Practices (HIPs). The primary purpose of this initiative is to broaden the pool of students who can participate in HIPs with cost barriers. Therefore, nominators should ensure that they are targeting the funding to support first-generation students, students with financial needs, and/or students who are members of underrepresented populations.

Funding can be reimbursed for experiences for students that include conference or workshop registration, flights, hotel costs, or other expenses related to participation in a HIP. Students need to present to receive funding to attend a conference.
