Potential Topics in Research A topic of research that would be very interesting to study would be which medium is most useful for spreading the word and effective in bringing people in for events. I work at the Human Performance Center on campus, so it would be interesting to hold an event and advertise on three different platforms to see which one is most influential. A hard copy poster around school, Instagram, and email. These are the most popular ways of communication while in the university setting. Then, when the event rolls around, tally how many participated and survey how they came to obtain the knowledge of said event. This will make it an interpretive research project using mixed methods (Quantitive and Qualitive) to obtain the data. This will, in other words, determine how effective the student body is at advertising, and what they should change in order to bring more people in.
