Traditional campus experiences — such as taking on a leadership role, joining a student org, or attending orientation — may foster essential workforce-ready skills, but they often fall short in truly transforming students' co-curricular lives.

This e-book will introduce you to the many different types of HIPs, explain their extraordinary benefits, and talk you through the essential steps for creating (or improving) your very own.
