AAC&U's Institute on High-Impact Practices and Student Success—formerly the Greater Expectations Institute—is designed to help campuses develop intentional and integrative plans to strengthen student learning and student success. The institute curriculum emphasizes high-impact practices and campus-wide strategies that are engaging to students and effective at improving both persistence and achievement of essential learning outcomes.
The Institute on High-Impact Practices and Student Success is designed to help campus, system, or regional collaborative teams (faculty, student affairs professionals, academic administrators, students). The institute curriculum addresses the challenge of leading for change in an era of austerity. It offers innovative models for program implementation and assessment. The program will be of particular interest to campus- or system-wide cross-functional teams working on programmatic curricular and cocurricular change, assessment of new or existing programs or practices, or development of effective institutional collaborations. The institute is also ideal for teams working on accreditation.
