"Born out of a recognition that today’s graduates need to be responsible global citizens, aware of and respectful of other cultures, and equipped to respond to the challenges the future holds, High-Impact Practices (HIPs) offer a structure to help educators create learning cultures designed to develop the whole person and nurture graduates who are genuinely future-ready. HIPs were first proposed by George Kuh (2008) and his research suggests that when done well, they can enhance student success, retention and engagement. This presentation will introduce the eleven HIPs, the elements essential to making practice meaningful and high-impact, and the central role that portfolios can play in supporting these practices. A number of international examples of portfolio practice will be showcased to demonstrate this theory in action. Kuh, G. D. (2008). High-impact educational practices: What they are, who has access to them, and why they matter. Washington, DC: Association of American Colleges and Universities. "

All students benefit from engaging with at least one or two high-impact practices during their
undergraduate studies – this is especially true for students from non-traditional or underserved
backgrounds.
