HIPs, pedagogies and experiences that improve student retention and success, are known to have an outsized benefit for first generation students and those from traditionally underserved backgrounds. Undergraduate Research (OURS), Community-engaged and Service Learning (CCEL), and ePortfolios (eWolf), are just a few examples of other HIPs found at UAA. Learn more about HIPs here.
