HIP Ambassadors

HIP Ambassadors (community college and TCAT faculty) and HIP Pathway Ambassadors (university faculty) serve as faculty experts and points of contact for specific HIP areas. Throughout the year, they host HIP Connection Calls to engage in conversations around High Impact Practices with faculty statewide, and they are available for individual consultations and to answer questions regarding their HIP area.
