HIEEs for Students

Benefits

Participating in high impact educational experiences (HIEEs) will help you:

• feel more engaged with peers, faculty and staff at Weber State University;
• learn, retain, and apply knowledge;
• complete your degree with experience you can list on your resume; and
• develop transferable skills [NACE competencies] that you can apply in your personal, academic and professional lives.

Did you know that HIEEs will show up on your transcript too? HIEEs set you apart from your peers because employers and graduate programs will see on your transcript that you have been engaged in learning experiences beyond those that occur only in the classroom.

Incentives for Participating in HIEEs

The Wildcat Advantage Program is designed to help you get involved and be rewarded for participating in at least two high impact educational experiences before you graduate.

You can earn up to $1500 for participating in the HIEEs Pay program truly earning you a Wildcat advantage.

You can also earn a colorful braided graduation cord, learn how to demonstrate your skills in an e-Portfolio, and be recognized in the commencement program by completing just two HIEEs. There are opportunities to “level up” for more benefits when you complete more than 2 HIEEs.
