Honors in Practice (HIP), a publication of the National Collegiate Honors Council, accommodates our members’ need and desire for articles about nuts-and-bolts issues, innovative practices in individual honors programs, and other honors topics of concern to the membership. HIP publishes practical and descriptive essays, including descriptions of successful honors courses, suggestions for out-of-class experiences, and administrative issues. The journal is published annually.
