High-Impact Educational Practices: What They Are, Who Has Access to Them, and Why They Matter
The latest report from AAC&U's LEAP initiative defines a set of educational practices that research has demonstrated have a significant impact on student success. Author George Kuh presents data from the National Survey of Student Engagement about these practices and explains why they benefit all students, but also seem to benefit underserved students even more than their more advantaged peers.

Communicating Commitment to Liberal Education: A Self-Study Guide for Institutions (pdf)
This publication in the LEAP series includes a set of questions designed for campus dialogues that cut across campus divisions and departments. It is designed to help institutions become more intentional about aligning programs and practices with professed goals for liberal education learning outcomes.

LEAP Campus Strategy Sessions
Strategy sessions at AAC&U Network for Academic Renewal Meetings and the AAC&U Annual Meeting are designed to advance campus efforts to communicate about and deliver liberal education outcomes to all students. Informational sessions are open to all interested participants. Special sessions are also available for individuals from Campus Action Network schools.

For more resources, including campus examples of LEAP-related practices, visit the LEAP Campus Action Network (CAN).
