Instructional/Engagement Resources
The University of Wisconsin-Madison also offers a wide array of what we call HighImpact Practices, or HIPs.

Careers in STEM
The L&S Career Initiative and Career Services have joined to prepare undergraduates for satisfying and rewarding careers.
Together, we support faculty and staff in helping students to increase their career-readiness. In partnership, we can help students understand the relationship of their majors to careers. We can help students be less focused on “what can I do with this major?” and instead be immerse themselves in their academic pursuits while simultaneously planning for a productive future.
