ABSTRACT

Measuring student participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) and its link to student success outcomes takes many years of refining methodology and enhancing practice. This chapter shares the evolution of that methodology as well as how findings continue to be used to open access and push Binghamton University to reach its 100% participation in designated HIPs goal. The departments involved in HIPIC began expanding programs/partnerships in the college of arts and sciences. The ability to track participation data centrally has allowed Binghamton University to explore participation at a higher level than individual units could achieve on their own. In addition, a centralized group, HIPIC, brings together campus leadership, directors of offices related to each HIP, and the data team to coordinate efforts, ask larger questions, put the data to use, and take steps to increase access.
