Crosstab #2

5% of participants know of the events that the Department of Health and Kinesiology offer, where 95% of participants are not aware. Of the 5% that are aware of the events the department offers, how they hear about the event has no influence on their knowledge of the events.

Based on these findings, the department would promote events on all areas of campus, Russell Union, Rotunda, Dining Commons, and the RAC. The department would hang flyers on public bulletin boards, and in areas with a lot of foot traffic. The flyers would be eye catching and creative so that students are more likely to read them.

Crosstab #398% of respondents who have some

degree of agreeance, that faculty do not do enough in class to spread the word of on campus events, think that faculty ALSO do not have enough involvement in campus recreation.

Based on these findings, the department will work to speak with professors within and outside of the Health and Kinesiology Department to promote its events briefly during class time. The

department should also encourage professors to become more aware of on campus events and

recreation. Some professors are also active on social media, these accounts could be helpful.
