HIPs Student Showcase

Celebrate the creativity, innovation, and impact of Seminole State students engaged in High Impact Practices (HIPs). The HIPs Student Showcase is a virtual event highlighting students' incredible work and the difference they’re making on campus and beyond.

Faculty, if you teach a HIPs course in Fall 2024 or Spring 2025, encourage your students to participate! Explore student submissions, join interactive activities, and don’t miss special events like the Showcase Kickoff on April 16 and the Showcase Send-Off on April 23 honoring outstanding projects.
