THE PURPOSEThe purpose of this survey was to better understand High School students as they relate to digital media and their future careers. This information shows the enormous lack of awareness High School students have in regards to the US Department of State and the Foreign Service Career opportunities. However small student’s awareness of DOS careers are, the Department of State can capitalize on their interest in potential careers. The data shows High Schoolstudent’s tendencies towards online media and email which will help market the campaign in the correct outlets. Furthermore, this information shows how students view their future careers and what they value most in a job.

IEF

THE PURPOSEThe purpose of the survey was to better understand High School student’s views on traveling and if a career where they travel the world intrigues them. Due to the continuous changing of locations as a U.S. Department of State employee, the survey gave a better understanding of whether or not to emphasize the large amount of traveling a Foreign Service career offers. The data shows that High School students are eager to see the world, however students are skeptical whether or not they want to move every three years. The survey generated enthusiastic quotes from students who seek adventure, different views and new relationships through traveling. The student quotes provided insight on what should be highlighted in the video when presenting the opportunity to travel.

Quotes from the Counselor (See Appendix for full list of quotes)

“Flyer will be effective. We will participate. Will the State Department conduct any promo program at Temple?” -William Michuda, Souderton High school [email protected]

“I think the poster would be OK if counselors place them in visible areas and yes, I do think they would participate. It might be a good idea to look at programs like Career Cruising, Naviance, and Kuder which many high schools use during the college and career planning process. They may be able to add a section about these types of careers.” -Melissa Pilitowski, Delsea High School [email protected]

“This sounds beneficial. I'd be happy to promote your campaign.” -Heather Steinmetz, Spring-Ford High School [email protected]

“The Flyers and award program sound like great ways to reach out to students. I think School Counselors and Teachers would be interested in participating in a program like this.” -Hebat El-Turky North Hills High School [email protected]

“I think this is a great idea.” - Lynda Odessey, Haddonfield High school [email protected]

“If you sent me a flyer I would certainly post it around school.” -Leslie Gamma, Great Valley High School [email protected]  

“I'd have to look at it further, but it is definitely something I would be interested in being a part of.” -Ms. Miller-Boyer, Carver (Engineering and Science) [email protected]

“I am open to the idea and would to see more information.” -Kimberly Gibbons, Neshaminy High School

Quotes from Former DEC Alumni (See Appendix for Full List of Quotes)

“There was an infinite amount of valuable takeaways I gained from DEC. As for the most valuable, mine would be a lesson that Dr. Marra preached regularly. With regards to DEC (or anything in life), you get out what you put in. The more positive effort you put into something, the greater the return.” - Christopher Miller, 2012 Executive Creative Director & CEO

“The biggest thing that I took away from DEC was the ability to work with others and meet deadlines. The connections with my fellow classmates also didn’t hurt.”- Dan Dudley, 2012 Director of Research

“As a writer, I learned to write more creatively, question structure and gain a sense of “attitude” I didn’t possess before. I learned how to work with great, and not so great, team members that prepared me for working in a corporate setting.”-Daniel Geremia, Executive Director of Copy

“My experience in DEC helped me stand out among the other recent grads I was interviewing against because it showed that I had real experience in agency dynamics, working on real work for real clients.”-Mike Bray, 2004 Account Manager

“I definitely think DEC was instrumental in landing a spot in Ogilvy’s Associates Program. DEC was a great way to differentiate my resume from the stacks of other students who only had traditional internship experience at agencies.”-Jess Phelan, 2010 Executive Creative Director & CEO

Working in DEC gave me the real world experience of working with clients. Clients are a variable, they challenge you, they frustrate you, they add a grey area to an otherwise clear idea, which greatly helped me to grow as a designer - you have real world challenges that you will learn from and reflect upon.-Mike Hagel, 2010 Executive Creative Director

THE PURPOSEThe purpose of the survey is to determine Temple University’s freshman and transfer student’s awareness of the Study Away Program. The survey was designed to understand if and how students have heard of Study Away opportunities, if they are interested in studying away and the program’s overall effectiveness of communicating foreign study opportunities to these students. Raising awareness in Temple students enables them to plan for their foreign studies in advance.

METHODOLOGYA 5 minute multiple choice survey was created and dispersed in two ways. A booth was set up in the Johnson and Hardwick freshman dormitory on two separate days between the hours of 6PM – 8PM. The survey was handed out to students passing by who filled the surveys out at the booth. In addition to setting up a survey booth, a flyer was created containing a QR code for an online version of the survey. The flyers were hung around high traffic campus locations where students could easily scan the QR code and take the survey via their mobile device. A total 0f 73 responses were collected. As an incentive to complete the survey, all students were placed in a raffle to win one of two $25 Diamond Dollar gift cards.

THE PURPOSEThe Longest Day is an annual event the Alzheimer’s Association holds to honor those living with the disease. Teams raise money for the event and spend the day taking part in activities with loved ones. Since Alzheimer’s is commonly associated with elders, Alzheimer’s is looking to get younger people involved in The Longest Day. The purpose of the research was to pinpoint what social media sites are most frequently used by young people in order to spread the word about the event and generate awareness about the disease to a younger audience.

CONCLUSION

It has been a unique and pleasurable opportunity to conduct strategic research for five DEC accounts. Time and effort was put in to find exceptional insights that allowed for each account to create distinctive campaigns. We believe our research was effective and integral in reaching each account’s goals. The research team would like to thank all of the wonderful account managers and creatives we were lucky enough to work with, the exceptional executive board for their guidance and support and Dr. Marra for always keeping a smile on our face.
