HIPS Faculty Learning Community: Fall 2026

The Faculty Learning Community (FLC) on High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in General Education is a unique, application-based opportunity for faculty committed to enhancing student engagement and success. Participants will explore innovative strategies to integrate and sustain HIPs within general education courses through a structured, six-session program.

This closed cohort is designed to foster deep learning, meaningful dialogue, and actionable outcomes. Participants will leave equipped with the tools and knowledge to enrich their courses and contribute to a dynamic general education program at Jax State.
