Mapping the HIP landscape

Abstract

Scholars and organizations have begun to encourage participation in multiple HIPs during an undergraduate college career. Although there is much variation in the average amount of student HIP participation at different institutions, no one has examined whether or not that variation can be attributed to particular institution characteristics. In this session, facilitators focus on how various characteristics relate to higher levels of HIP participation at the institution level. Participants in this session will learn about one way to assess HIP participation. Then, based on that approach, they will examine visual representations, "maps," displaying the relationships between institution characteristics and increased participation in HIPs. Additionally, participants will think about the implications for individual institutions, institutions with particular characteristics, and state and federal policy makers.
