HIEEs for Students
High impact educational experiences (HIEEs) can transform your educational, personal and professional development. At Weber State University (WSU), HIEEs are embedded in your courses and co-curricular experiences outside the classroom. These experiences can be found in the catalog and on GivePulse, a student engagement platform.
Wildcat Advantage can also help you get involved in HIEEs—the program will even reward you for participating in at least two HIEEs before graduation! Undergraduate students can earn up to $1,500 by participating in HIEEs Pay, earning a colorful braided graduation cord.
Participating in HIEEs will help you…
- Feel more engaged with peers, faculty and staff at WSU
- Learn, retain and apply knowledge
- Complete your degree with experience you can list on your resume
- Develop transferable skills, such as career competencies from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, to apply in your personal, academic and professional lives

Participate in HIEEs Pays
You can earn up to $1,500 by participating in the HIEEs Pay program! Earn a colorful braided graduation cord, learn how to demonstrate your skills in an ePortfolio 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 two HIEEs.
