Research Request Agreement Report
A. Background
The Western Connecticut State University Alumni Association allows students and Western Connecticut State University Alumni to develop mutually beneficial relationships by raising awareness of alumni philanthropy and fundraising. This association allows students and alumni to build lasting relationships with each other, as well as students, staff and the greater Danbury area.
Members of the association receive benefits and privileges including invitation to special WCSU and alumni events, career services, Alumni travel program, insurance saving programs, as well as U-Save membership and business. The purpose of the Alumni Association is to give alumni resources to stay connected to their roots at Western Connecticut State University through a number of different events on and off campus, allowing alumni of any age the opportunity to meet through a mutual interest and create personal as well as business bonds.
Problem:
Currently, the WCSU Alumni Association is struggling with engaging and encouraging young alumni to participate in alumni events. The lack of responsiveness from young alumni ranges from students who graduated 2010 to those who will be graduating this May 2020. Currently, the WCSU Alumni Association is having trouble identifying the reason for the lack of response from younger alumni. The Alumni Association is unable to identify what events will attract young alumni in order to engage them to the association. Some factors could be that alumni have moved far from the University, they’ve started families and it’s hard to come back when they have responsibilities, they aren’t receiving the information to a relevant source. These are just ideas not actual facts so the association wants to know the reasoning behind the lack of students that aren’t returning. This way they can find ways that would interest students to return.
Marketing Mix:
Price:
Most of the events the WCSU Alumni Association holds are at a discounted price for off campus outings. The events held on campus are either free for members or at a discounted, affordable price.
Product:
The products being offered are the events held by the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association are the ones planning and holding the events that occur either on or off campus. Events are not solely focused on any one specific major, or even involving a specific theme or topic relating to a major. The events are held in order to bring together alumni with similar interests, such as “Sip & Sculpt '', WCSU Opera, or Alumni Golf Tournament.
Place:
Majority of the events the WCSU Alumni Association holds are located on campus in Danbury, CT. However, off-campus events are offered as well. Although off-campus events may include a cost, it is at an outstandingly affordable cost and provides tickets and transportation to a given event.
Promotion:
The Alumni Association promotes events through email, social media, word of mouth, WOW Alumn.

Research Review Forms – Student NameResearch Review Forms Template.docxgholly1
Research Review Forms – Student NameResearch Review Forms TemplateResearch Review Form #1
· APA Reference
· Type of Research
Please specify the type of research (e.g., quantitative, qualitative, meta-analysis) and research design, if applicable (e.g., correlational design, causal comparative design, phenomenology).
· Independent and Dependent Variables or Variable of Interest (if applicable)
If the article is quantitative, identify the independent and dependent variables. If the article is qualitative, identify the phenomenon/phenomena.
· Research Question(s) and Hypothesis(es)
State the Research Question(s) and/or Hypothesis(es).
Example: There is no stated hypothesis. 2 research questions are proposed: (a) “What is the relationship between the sense of community and student learning?” and (b) “Do the sense of community and learning differ by culture in an asynchronous learning network (ALN) environment?” It is implied that the researchers believe that culture will influence the students’ sense of community and learning. It is implied that there will be an achievement gap between African-American students and Caucasian students participating in online courses.
· Sample
Briefly describe the sample and sampling type. Include the number of participants. Also consider including race and gender.
Example: The subjects were 108 educators (96 females, 12 males; 40 African Americans, 64 Caucasians, 4 others) enrolled in an online Doctor of Education program. The convenience sample was taken from 4 course sections, which had a 96% volunteer rate.
· Methodology
Instruments:
Identify the measuring instrument and reliability and validity of the instrument, if discussed.
Example: The Classroom Community Scale (CCS; Rovai, 2002) was used to measure social community (connectedness) and learning community (learning and satisfaction). As purported, the CCS has high construct validity.
· Results
Results and Conclusions/Primary Findings:
State major results and conclusions.
Example: For the correlational design, the results suggested a positive correlation between all 3 community variables and the 2 learning variables in the ALN environment. Since the findings indicated that there was a weak relationship between perceived learning and course grades, this suggests the learning variables captured 2 different aspects of student learning. In addition, results revealed large variability of classroom community among the students sampled in the 4 course sections. This indicated that individual traits of students may impact feelings about social community. For the causal-comparative, the results revealed that the African-American group scored significantly lower than the Caucasian group on each of the 5 dependent variables. This suggests that there is an achievement gap between African-Americans and Caucasians in graduate ALN programs. This gap also extended to the sense of community.
· Analysis
Identify analysis procedures and any important resul.

Abstract
Background: Speech pathologists are confronted by ethical issues when they need
to make decisions about client care, address team conflict, and fulfil the range of
duties and responsibilities required of health professionals. However, there has
been little research into the specific nature of ethical dilemmas experienced by
speech pathologists and whether the nature of ethical conflict changes as they
acquire experience in the professional workforce. Speech pathologists’
perceptions of ethical issues provide insight into factors impacting upon quality
of care in contemporary healthcare settings.
Aims: To describe, compare, and contrast the nature of ethical dilemmas
identified by new graduate and experienced speech pathologists.
Methods & Procedures: A narrative methodology was used to explore the ethical
dilemmasthatparticipantsexperiencedintheprofessionalworkplace.Primarydata
were collected through in-depth interviews with ten new graduate and
ten experienced speechpathologists in theirwork settings.During these interviews,
participantswereaskedto‘tell thestory’ofethicaldilemmasthey identifiedatwork.
Outcomes & Results: An ethical story was constructed for each participant based
upon keywords and concepts from interview transcripts. These keywords and
conceptswerecodedintogroupthemesthatreflectedthenatureofethicaldilemmas
experienced by new graduate versus experienced speech pathologists. Comparing
the results of thematic analysis for both groups of participant revealed similarities
and differences in ethical dilemmas identified by new graduate and experienced
health professionals.

Research Report #2: Emerging Issues Risk Analysis and Report
Scenario
The Entertainment Team (ET -- part of Resort Operations at Padgett-Beale, Inc.) is excited about a new event management platform and is ready to go to contract with the vendor. This platform is a cloud-based service that provides end-to-end management for events (conferences, concerts, festivals). The head of Marketing & Media (M&M) is on board and strongly supports the use of this system. M&M believes that the data collection and analysis capabilities of the system will prove extremely valuable for its efforts. Resort Operations (RO) also believes that the technology could be leveraged to provide additional capabilities for managing participation in hotel sponsored “kids programs” and related children-only events.
For an additional fee, the event management platform's vendor will provide customized RFID bands to be worn by attendees.
The RFID bands and RFID readers use near-field communications to identify the wearer and complete the desired transactions (e.g. record a booth visit, make a purchase, vote for a favorite activity or performer, etc.).
The RFID bands have unique identifiers embedded in the band that allow tracking of attendees (admittance, where they go within the venue, what they "like," how long they stay in a given location, etc.).
The RFID bands can also be connected to an attendee's credit card or debit card account and then used by the attendee to make purchases for food, beverages, and souvenirs.
For children, the RFID bands can be paired with a parent’s band, loaded with allergy information, and have a parent specified spending limit or spending preauthorization tied to the parent’s credit card account.
The head of Corporate IT has tentatively given approval for this outsourcing because it leverages cloud-computing capabilities. IT's approval is very important to supporters of this the acquisition because of the company's ban on "Shadow IT." (Only Corporate IT is allowed to issue contracts for information technology related purchases, acquisitions, and outsourcing contracts.) Corporate IT also supports a cloud-based platform since this reduces the amount of infrastructure which IT must support and manage directly.
The project has come to a screeching halt, however, due to an objection by the Chief Financial Officer. The CFO has asked that the IT Governance Board investigate this project and obtain more information about the benefits and risks of using RFID bands linked to an external system which processes transactions and authorizations of mobile / cashless payments for goods and services. The CFO is concerned that the company’s PCI Compliance status may be adversely affected.
The Chief Privacy Officer has also expressed an objection about this project. The CPO is concerned about the privacy implications of tracking both movement of individuals and the tracking of their purchasing behaviors.
The IT Governance Board agreed that the conce.

The Research Report
The Research Report serves as the deliverable towards partial completion of the requirement for BA634. The requirement of your research is expected to be built and constitutes the five-chapter model. This document is not intended to be a one-time or static document. The Research Report needs to be at least 14 pages and is written in the past and present tense, as appropriate.
The Research Report should be a complete and concise document that establishes your credentials as a relative expert in the domain of your study. In all cases, a good understanding of the specific domain will be necessary for the successful completion of your study. It is vital that you stay current in the literature germane to the study you are conducting and update the chapters accordingly.
The following is the general structure of the Research ReportChapter 1- Background/Introduction (3 – 4 pages)

Research questionsIt was not known how criminal offenders percei.docxgholly1
Research questions
It was not known how criminal offenders perceive and mentally represent the world around them
It was not known what role perception plays in an individual’s potential to commit crime
The basis of Cognitive theory
Cognitive is defined as an ability to process information: Cognition has to do with one's ability to learn information quickly, memorize, and understand information they receive. Therefore, cognitive theories of crime fall under the psychological theories of criminal behavior. It's important to know that there are different theories that attempt to explain acts of criminal behavior.
Cognitive-behavioral theory combines the principles of social and developmental psychology and those of experimental-clinical psychology. The theory, applied to crime and delinquency, proposes that social behavior is learned. To understand why and how people commit crimes, psychologists and sociologists often study, analyze, and develop explanations of why these behaviors exist. Cognitive theory is one of many psychological theories of criminal behavior. Cognitive theories of crime explain criminal behavior as a defect in moral thinking, thought processes, and mental development. Cognitive theories focus on how we perceive the world around us, how we think, and the factors that influence our mental development (family upbringing, parental modeling, personality, intelligence). These theories help to explain how we develop morally in our thought process. Cognitive theories also help us to understand how an individual's personality and intelligence level are linked to delinquency.
Theoretical framework : theory of cognitive development
Jean Piaget: Moral and intellectual development. People construct a mental model of the world from childhood. Thus, from birth onward an individual will continue to develop. It is a process which occurs due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment.
Bandura maintains that individuals are not born with an innate ability to act violently. He suggested that, in contrast, violence and aggression are learned through a process of behavior modeling (Bandura, 1977). In other words, children learn violence through the observation of others. Aggressive acts are modeled after three primary sources: (1) family interaction, (2) environmental experiences, and (3) the mass media.
Lawrence Kohlberg (1927–1987), who applied the concept of moral development to criminological theory. Kohlberg (1984) believed that individuals pass through stages of moral development. Most important to his theory is the notion that there are levels, stages, and social orientation. The three levels are Level I, preconventional; Level II, conventional; and Level III, postconventional. With respect to the different stages, Stages 1 and 2 fall under Level I. Stages 3 and 4 fall under Level II, and Stages 5 and 6 fall under Level III.
The next subdiscipline is the information-processing branch. This area is predicated on the no.

Recruitment Sources: (how do they bring people onboard?)
For corporate and/or field roles, MC is more inclined to build first (internal hiring) and then buy (external hiring).
1. Build First (Internal Hiring)
Promotions, Transfer, Internship etc..
In addition to their website careers page for the general public, they also have a dedicated portal for internal candidates.
Locally, they also recruit from CU and CSU. Internship is popular method of recruitment. For their Chicago and Milwaukee HQ in the US, they will recruit from the University of Wisconsin system, Marquette, University of Michigan, Michigan State, DePaul, Northwestern, Regis and Loyola.
2. Buy (External Hiring)
Buying is preferred for senior management roles where a diverse perspective offers a competitive advantage.
They leverage LinkedIn and Indeed heavily, Indeed is where I initially applied from.
For external candidates, it’s preferred if you are familiar with the beer industry BUT it is not mandatory. They usually come from other CPG companies, either competitors (beer, wine, spirits) or food/non-alcohol beverage manufacturers.
Recruitment Process and Valid Selection(Integrate/ Combine Recruitment process and valid selection process (how would you ensure valid selection system?))
Recruitment Process from Molson Coors website attached
(Process Draft)
1. HR/Talent acquisition works with the hiring manager to set expectations for candidate core requirements.
2. Interviews are typically extended to 5 candidates, sometimes an additional 1-2 more if the pool is exceptionally talented.
3. You correspond with HR who fills you in on time/date/location/interviewers’ names and roles. The communication is detailed, informing the candidate of the approximate length of time it will take to complete the interview and giving you tips on the format (Panel style and STAR - situation, task, action, response).
4. Our Brew - How We Work sets the foundation of the interview. The initial interview will usually be conducted with the hiring manager (your line/direct manager), the manager who you may be supporting (if applicable) and the person you’re going to backfill (or someone whose role aligns with the one you’re interviewing for).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Research Request Agreement Report A. BackgroundThe Western Con.docx
1. Research Request Agreement Report
A. Background
The Western Connecticut State University Alumni Association
allows students and Western Connecticut State University
Alumni to develop mutually beneficial relationships by raising
awareness of alumni philanthropy and fundraising. This
association allows students and alumni to build lasting
relationships with each other, as well as students, staff and the
greater Danbury area.
Members of the association receive benefits and privileges
including invitation to special WCSU and alumni events, career
services, Alumni travel program, insurance saving programs, as
well as U-Save membership and business. The purpose of the
Alumni Association is to give alumni resources to stay
connected to their roots at Western Connecticut State University
through a number of different events on and off campus,
allowing alumni of any age the opportunity to meet through a
mutual interest and create personal as well as business bonds.
Problem:
Currently, the WCSU Alumni Association is struggling with
engaging and encouraging young alumni to participate in alumni
events. The lack of responsiveness from young alumni ranges
from students who graduated 2010 to those who will be
graduating this May 2020. Currently, the WCSU Alumni
Association is having trouble identifying the reason for the lack
of response from younger alumni. The Alumni Association is
unable to identify what events will attract young alumni in
order to engage them to the association. Some factors could be
that alumni have moved far from the University, they’ve started
families and it’s hard to come back when they have
responsibilities, they aren’t receiving the information to a
relevant source. These are just ideas not actual facts so the
2. association wants to know the reasoning behind the lack of
students that aren’t returning. This way they can find ways that
would interest students to return.
Marketing Mix:
Price:
Most of the events the WCSU Alumni Association holds are at a
discounted price for off campus outings. The events held on
campus are either free for members or at a discounted,
affordable price.
Product:
The products being offered are the events held by the Alumni
Association. The Alumni Association are the ones planning and
holding the events that occur either on or off campus. Events
are not solely focused on any one specific major, or even
involving a specific theme or topic relating to a major. The
events are held in order to bring together alumni with similar
interests, such as “Sip & Sculpt '', WCSU Opera, or Alumni
Golf Tournament.
Place:
Majority of the events the WCSU Alumni Association holds are
located on campus in Danbury, CT. However, off-campus events
are offered as well. Although off-campus events may include a
cost, it is at an outstandingly affordable cost and provides
tickets and transportation to a given event.
Promotion:
The Alumni Association promotes events through email, social
media, word of mouth, WOW Alumni, WOW Weekender, and
flyers/papers posted throughout campus. This is where the
Alumni Association is currently struggling. Alumni are either
not receiving emails or paper mail, or are not interested enough
to find out more information about the association or the
3. event.
B. Decision Problems
1.)“How to engage alumni who graduated recently (0-10 years
ago)?”
The WCSU Alumni Association would like to research the lack
of engagement in Alumni events from young alumni. This
discovery-oriented problem is caused by an unplanned low
involvement of young WCSU alumni.
2.) “How to increase attendance from recent graduates (0-10
years)?”
The WCSU Alumni Association would like to research in what
ways they can increase the amount of young alumni to attend
association events on and off-campus. This discovery-oriented
problem is caused by an unplanned low involvement of young
WCSU alumni.
C. Research Problems
Research Problems for Decision Problem 1.
1.)Investigate student awareness of the WCSU Alumni
Association.
a.) The WCSU Alumni Association needs to investigate the
current student awareness of the WCSU Alumni Association.
The lack of awareness of current students can be a variable as to
why young alumni are not attending events.This may help the
Alumni Association understand if young alumni are not
attending events, it may be due to their unawareness of the
association.
2.) Determine rate of young alumni attendance of events.
a.) Since the problem of the WCSU Alumni Association is
focused on young alumni, those who graduated 2010 to 2020,
data collected regarding attendance will give on-target numbers
of what is considered low, as well as set target numbers for the
future of young alumni attending events.
3.) Determine satisfaction of current Alumni Association
4. members with events.
a.) Overall satisfaction of current Alumni Association members
will help measure success of event topics and locations for
future events. This will give the WCSU Alumni Association
insight as to what events were most successful in attendance.
This can be determined through the use of in depth surveys or
interviews.
4.)Determine what media channels effectively reach
alumni regarding events
a.)Understand what media channels are most effective in
reaching alumni members, more specifically, young alumni.
Example; Email vs. advertising.
Research Problems for Decision Problem 2
1. Determine cost associated with becoming a member of WCSU
Alumni Association
a. Cost is a relative role in attendance of events for any
association. Determine the cost associated with members
attending events and if the cost affects attendance to any given
event.
1. Determine young alumni satisfaction with WCSU
b. If students had an exceptional experience attending
WCSU,would they be more likely to return? This research
would involve in depth interviews of alumni to determine their
overall satisfaction of WCSU and if it will affect their return.
1. Investigate Alumni interest rates to returning to WCSU
c. After students graduate, measure the rate in which they would
be interested to return for Alumni activities and events.
1. Assess Target market perceptions on what would bring them
back
d. Find out what alumni is interested in and take action on the
events and activities that would bring them back to enjoy with
the alumni association.
D. Use
5. The essential information the WCSU Alumni Association is
looking for is the awareness of current students of the Alumni
Association, as well as the awareness of the young alumni of
the association. The association wants to grow as a community
and expand the opportunities for Alumni to strengthen bonds
and relationships with the University and other members of the
association.
E. Targets and Subgroups
The researcher will collect data from the Western Connecticut
State University students and young alumni. Students that will
be interviewed will be junior and senior students. The alumni
that will be interviewed will be those that graduated 0-10 years
ago, 2010-2020.

A. Background
The Division of Student Affairs is dedicated to assisting in the
success of all student endeavors.
Student Affairs seeks to prepare students for the global
community, making them ethical and
responsible leaders. The Division of Student Affairs is made up
of several departments that
serve to build personal development by guiding and positively
interacting with students
throughout their time at WCSU and onward.
Key departments within Student Affairs have been recruited to
create the Student Life Area
Committee: Office of InterCultural Student Affairs, The Center
for Student Involvement, Housing
and Residence Life, Career Success Center, Department of
Athletics and Campus and Student
Centers and Auxiliary Services and at least one SGA Senator.
The purpose of the Student Life
10. Area Committee is to identify the underlying issues of low
student involvement on campus
during weekdays and weekends. The committee is open to the
public and welcomes students to
sit in during the meeting. The goal of this committee is to
improve the attendance on overall
programming at Western Connecticut State University.
Problem:
The Division of Student Affairs has struggled with producing
weekend and weekday
programming that is well attended by the student body. They
aren’t sure if it’s because of a lack
of awareness, disinterest, commute time, work commitments
etc. Student Affairs is also unable
to identify if they are using social media effectively to promote
activities, and to communicate
and engage with students. Student Affairs has increased the
amount of weekend events
on-campus and have not seen satisfying results in student
attendance. On average they will
have less than 50 students attend each weekend event.
The committee has also determined they lack funding and
resources necessary to produce
high-quality programming. In order to be a “Full Service
Weekend Campus” they must provide
funding for faculty and staff that run the programs, services,
and departments on weekends in
addition to actual expense of the events/services taking place.
Marketing Mix:
Price:
Most of the programming and services provided to current
WCSU students are free. Most
11. programming has also been open to alumni free of charge
however the public tends to pay for
admittance. Events that aren’t free to current WCSU Students
are usually offered at a low and
affordable price.
Product:
2
The products offered are the events produced by Departments,
Clubs and Organizations such
as Division of Student Affairs, Intercultural Affairs, Center of
Student Involvement, Housing and
Residence Life, Career Success Center, Department of
Athletics, PAC, SGA, Greek Council,
IRHA, REC, ACSA, BSU, WMA etc.
Additional resources that incentivize students to stay on-campus
are provided by the Dining
Services, Library, Writing Center, Computer Labs (IT&I) etc.
Place:
WCSU programing/services take place both on-campus and off-
campus. The majority of events
are held on-campus however off-campus programming tends to
have high participation is
usually popular among the current student population.
● Examples of on-campus events include: Bingo, Roller
Skating, Career Fair, Clubs
Carnival, Stuff-A-Plush, Intercultural events, Run or Dye
● Examples of off-campus events include: Ice Skating,
12. Broadway Shows, Ski Trips,
The Big-E, New York Art Trips, Basketball Games
Promotion:
Events are promoted through flyers, posters, banners, word-of-
mouth, social media, WOW,
WOW Weekender, WOW Alumni, (email blasts). Departments,
Clubs and Organizations often
collaborate with each other by co-hosting events. This serves to
divide expenses, increase
awareness and bring the community together.
Current Efforts to Resolve Issue
Currently the division has attempted to raise awareness of their
events in order to produce a
higher turnout of student. They have also increased the number
of events offered during the
weekdays and weekends. The committee has attempted to gather
information from students to
identify issues and address them.
● Created a survey and sent it out to the student body
● There have 3 to 5 programs on weekends on both campuses
● Created special programs such as the InterCultural Festival
and cultural celebratory
month, Welcome Week Programming and Homecoming
programs
● SGA/PAC/Greek Council are overseen by Student Affairs and
are also involved in the
promotion and creation of events
● Expanded Weekend Dining hours and options
○ Example: A chicken and waffles event was popular enough to
13. make it a official
menu option
● Full Shuttle service on Weekends
● Increased efforts to promote and advertise events
○ All events placed on WOW, Alumni WOW, and WOW
Weekender
○ Used Social Media such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
to promote events
○ Create flyers and posters
○ Word of mouth
3
● Message board at the bottom of University Blvd has weekly
schedule displayed
● Extended their evening office hours and have encouraged all
other offices to do so as
well as to provide weekend hours. However some departments
are hesitant because
despite student requests for extended hours, not many students
actually come in.
○ Career Services did extend and open their doors on the
weekend.
● Hired a University Assistant to market events
Goals:
● Increase their funding/budget to accomodate for 24/7 services
● Use our Marketing Research class to better understand
14. students attendance to events
on weekends and weekdays
● Improve their publicizing efforts for all events by identifying
appropriate, effective and
efficient tools/resources
● Enhance the use of social media
● More advertisement
● Align programs with other departments, clubs and
organizations
● Communicate with other departments clubs and organizations
to ensure duplicate
programs do not occur ineffectively.
● Extend hours of weekend services from all departments
○ Departments that might participate are
■ Health Services
■ Counseling Center
■ Academic Affairs
■ Library
■ Computer Labs
■ Writing Center
● Increase attendance and involvement of New York and New
Jersey students and all
other out-of-state students
● Increase attendance and involvement of in-state commuters
B. Decision Problems
1. “How do we keep students on campus on weekdays and
weekends?” The Western
Connecticut State University Division of Student Affairs desires
15. to gather information on the lack
of student involvement on campus. This is a discovery-oriented
decision problem that has
arisen from an unplanned change in the marketing environment,
an unexpectedly low
percentage of student involvement.
2. “What resources do we need to keep students on campus on
weekdays and
weekends?” The Western Connecticut State University Division
of Student Affairs desires to
gather information on the resources needed to keep students on
campus. This is a
4
discovery-oriented decision problem that has arisen from an
unplanned change in the marketing
environment, an unexpectedly low percentage of student
involvement.
C. Research Problems
Research Problems for Decision Problem 1.
1. Investigate student awareness of campus programs.
a. The Committee Student Life center has stated that lack of
awareness could be
one of the variables contributing to low student attendance to
campus events.
Awareness is something that can be measured through student
surveys that are
low in cost ($0.00) and can include a significant sample size.
16. 2. Determine student satisfaction of campus programs.
a. Student overall satisfaction with campus programs are the
keystone
measurement of this research. This information will give the
Division of Student
Affairs insights as to which programs students are most likely
to attend with the
variable of awareness held constant. This can be measured
through in depth
interviews, and surveys.
3. Investigate student perceptions of campus programs.
a. By investigating student perceptions of campus programs we
can determine if
students are aware of the campus events taking place, or if the
events
themselves are not of interest to students. This could be
measured through
surveys, focus groups, and interviews. Surveys offer
structure,and are low time
intensive, Interviews and focus groups are time intensive but
offer greater insight
and give room for probing.
4. Determine student attendance rates for campus programs.
a. The Assistant Dean of the Student Life center stated that they
have had low
attendance for the events currently being held. Researching
through internal data
17. would give an accurate number of what the Assistant Dean is
considering to be
low, and also set objectives for how many students should be
attending future
events. This information is readily available at the Student Life
Affairs.
5. Determine student awareness of WOW and WOW Weekender.
a. Campus events are shared via WOW and Wow Weekender. By
understanding if
students are checking Wow and WOW Weekender, it would give
the research
team insight if students are looking up where events are or are
they hearing
about events from different channels of communication.This
research problem
can be combined with Research Problem 1 because it would
require the same
population, with these research problem cost remain low.
5
6. Determine student satisfaction of WOW and WOW
Weekender.
a. If students initially use WOW and WOW WeeKender, but
find it difficult to use or
not beneficial, if may cause them to stop using it. This could
cause students to
miss campus events due to a lack of awareness. Using surveys
to gather this
18. information would give the research team structure and keep
costs low.
7. Determine which media channels are used most by students.
a. If we can obtain greater insight into what media channels
students are using, we
can further understand where there attention is going along with
what is keeping
them engaged, and how they like to engage. This information
can be useful for
the Student LIfe Committee in determining what type of events
to put on. To
measure this we would conduct personal interviews to able to
probe subjects,
and get insight into what questions should be asked on the
survey. The
interviews will time intensive, and the surveys will be low time
intensive both will
be low in cost.
8. Determine which media channels are currently reaching
students regarding campus
programs.
a. Knowing where students are getting the information from will
allow the Student
Life Affairs to know where to put their efforts in terms of
advertising and
promoting events. This is extremely useful because students
may like the events
but are not made aware of them in time to attend. This can be
examined in
19. conjunction with student awareness. Awareness is a
straightforward
measurement and low in cost.
9. Investigate student satisfaction of specific
clubs/organizations on campus.
a. If the Student Life Committee can understand what events are
attracting the most
students, it would help with hosting events that involve those
particular clubs, and
looking at best practice of those clubs that could help other
clubs use it as a
benchmark. Doing in depth interviews to explore further
information that is
relevant to this matter helps to gain insight in to the specifics
that are causing the
degree of satisfaction allows for flexibility. In depth interviews
are time consuming
however the research team finds that with certain matters the
probe is worth the
time.
10. Determine the relationship between attendance of campus
programs and overall
satisfaction of WCSU.
a. Gaining further insight into the level of satisfaction from
students could explain
part of the reason they may not be attending. It could also lead
to next question if
satisfaction levels are low, then what would make the events
more attractive.
Measurements used include interviews for greater insight to not
20. just satisfaction
but also to which degree, and what would students like to see
more of. Using
6
Interval measurement can also give this feedback on bigger
scale as we can
reach more students with online survey. The interview will
require time, and
human labor but is worth the trade of getting energy of students
satisfaction
beyond surveys. Surveys are cost effective, and low time
intensive.
11. Compare the attendance of campus programs over the last
(five) years.
a. Looking back at previous programs will give insight to what
students liked and
what was working. Comparing this with current information will
get insight to
student trends in the last five years and we will be able to
understand what
events have been consistently popular, this information is useful
because
Student Affairs can create similar events that have been liked
by students.
Getting this information would require research into data owned
by Student
Affairs and could result in time intensive but will be low in cost
since they own the
data.
21. 12. Investigate student perceptions of campus
culture/community.
a. Having insight into the perception of university cultural
could give further
understanding into what students like/dislike about what they
are currently
experiencing, and what changes are they looking for. This
information can also
show if there are strong consistencies across students. To
measure this the
research team suggests using focus groups, and in depth
interviews to dig
deeper into the perceptions and start a dialog about what
successes there have
been, and where the Student Life Affairs can pick up the ball.
The research team
would like to get the overall campus mood beyond surveys and
find that in depth
interviews allow the flexibility to capture exactly what is going
on. This will require
time in finding students to participate, and time spent doing the
interviews.
13. Determine the percentage of students who go home on
weekends for work.
a. If the Student Life Committee has insight into when students
are most available
then they can host events that are convenient for students to
attend. If enough
students have work then these are obligations that are non
negotiable so it may
22. make sense to focus on different times if the number of
students working on the
weekend is high. We can conduct exploratory research in the
form of surveys
and use nominal scaling to see the differences in percentages.
This
measurement is low cost as it can be done through online
surveys.
14. Determine the percentage of students who go home on
weekends for social purposes.
a. Using nominal scaling we can look at percentages to see if a
significant amount
of students are attending other events that tells the research
team that the want
to engage in social setting is there. Using surveys the
information can be
gathered in low-time, and is cost effective.
7
Research problems for decision problem 2.
1. Determine the current costs of campus programs.
a. The resources provided by WCSU for student programs are a
major portion of
the school’s budget. By obtaining the costs of each program
from the Center for
Student Involvement, we will be able to perform cost/benefit
analysis more
23. accurately.
2. Evaluate the ratios of cost per student for campus programs.
a. By comparing the cost per program and dividing it by the
number of students
attending each of those programs, we can better evaluate the
success of campus
programs.
3. Assess the attitudes of campus staff regarding weekend work
hours.
a. The WCSU staff’s attitudes about working weekends will
play a major role in the
viability of certain programs. By issuing surveys, we can collect
this information in
an efficient manner.
4. Determine the costs associated with becoming a “full-time”
campus.
a. Many of the barriers associated with student involvement on
weekends are tied
to the costs of operating all departments seven days per week.
These costs can
be measured by interviewing campus officials and by reviewing
past budgets.
5. Determine the student usage rates of academic campus
resources on weekends.
24. a. The volume of students attending academic help resource
offices on weekends
will allow the Assistant Dean of Students to make better choices
regarding
investments in additional weekend hours. This information can
be gathered from
staff and department chairs.
6. Compare the student usage rates of academic campus
resources on weekends versus
weekdays.
a. The differences in usage rates of academic resources on
weekends versus
weekdays will give insights into the effectiveness of weekend
programs. This
data can be gathered via attendance logs from each
office/department.
7. Assess the financial forecasts of WCSU budgets for campus
programs.
a. In order to fully understand the scope of WCSU’s budget,
forecasts should be
analyzed as far ahead as ten years. Although some of this data
will be
speculative, it will be helpful for the Assistant Dean of Students
to have an idea of
the increase or decrease in funding that is expected in the
future.
25. 8
8. Determine the availability of staff for extended and weekend
hours.
a. Weekend programs and campus resources will depend on staff
availability. By
interviewing and collecting survey data, we can further
understand the scheduling
issues surrounding weekend campus activities.
9. Evaluate the satisfaction of students regarding event planning
for clubs.
a. If a club decides to cancel the planning and execution of an
event because of the
level of difficulty regarding permissions, evaluations can be
made about the
process of planning. This research would entail interviews and
focus groups of
club officers, who are the decision makers navigating the
school’s red tape. This
research will be time and effort intensive, because only club
officers deal with
these sorts of logistical issues surrounding event planning.
10. Determine the step-by-step process by which campus club
officers decide which
programs to plan.
a. By determining the steps taken by club officers to plan
events, conclusions can
26. be drawn regarding the internal process of program selection.
The steps involved
in this process can be gathered from clubs officers through
surveys, focus
groups, and interview.
11. Evaluate the satisfaction of club officers regarding campus
staff support in the program
planning process.
a. By determining the satisfaction of club officers, regarding
campus staff support,
conclusions can be drawn about possible flaws in the way
events are run. A lack
of staff support could make events unappealing to WCSU
students whcih in
return could cause a lack of student involvement.
12. Evaluate the effectiveness of current social media practices
conducted by the division of
student affairs.
a. By determining the current effectiveness of social media
efforts, we can further
understand the assistant deans concerns about the Department of
Student
Affairs social media in general. We can achieve this by looking
at social media
analytics.
27. D. Research Problems Selected
After reviewing these research problems (and others), the
research team has concluded that
research problems 1 - 14 offer the greatest value in terms of
providing information that is likely
to address decision problem one, and 1 - 8 and 12 for decision
problem two. Each involves
collecting information from the same population (See F. Targets
and Subgroups).
9
E. Use
The key information we are looking for is (a) what is the level
of awareness among students of
campus programs and events, and (b) the level of satisfaction
with the current campus
programs available. In addition to this key information, we can
collect data via digital survey
regarding perceptions, attitudes, availability of students and
staff, as well as budgets/costs of
programs.The Western Connecticut State University Division of
Student Affairs plans to use this
information to determine the degree to which a problem exists
in terms of awareness and
satisfaction with the current campus programs, and how to help
increase the attendance of
these events. Supplemental data will support conclusions about
the main focus of awareness
and satisfaction.
F. Targets and Subgroups
Although the population will be formally defined in the research
proposal, the researchers intend
28. to collect data from Western Connecticut State University
Students. The studnets interviewed
will primarily be ones that live on campus, but subgroups will
include commuters, transfer
students and non traditional students (23 years and older).
Student participants will also be divided by graduating class,
gender, ethnicity, age, major,
occupational status, in-state/out-state, residency and credit
hours.
G. Logistics
This project should be completed in approximately two months.
WCSU will be able to complete
this market research at no cost by utilizing the readily available
student body.
