Join the High Impact Practice Community of Practice for lunch and a focused workshop marking the midpoint of Towson University’s 2020–2030 strategic vision. This session will provide a concise update on the current High-Impact Practices (HIPs) landscape at TU, highlighting strengths, gaps, and participation trends that impact student learning and degree completion. The workshop will also launch Degree Boost, a new platform to encourage student engagement in HIPs-based programming in both curricular and co-curricular areas, highlighting career readiness competencies. Through guided discussion, participants will explore opportunities within their own units and identify next steps for advancing high-impact learning at TU. Lunch will be provided.

Please join us for the 2026 FACET Scholar Event, where you can learn about the research projects of numerous distinguished TU faculty and hear from their esteemed external mentors.
