Primary Research Interview with Leadership Center’s Director, Martha Spack:
Do you have a specific timeline or consistent plan?
! We need a Timeline and consistent plan for implementing all branches of the Leadership Center
! What we have no specific plan and are just going on a day-‐‑to-‐‑day basis
How many people are in charge of your social media accounts?
How many branches are there? ! Student Activities Board, Student Government Association, Volunteer A-‐‑State, Student Success Center, Leadership Center, and Volunteer A-‐‑State have their own person in charge of the account, but the Leadership Center has a two Social Media Mangers with the passwords to every account as well.

Secondary Research
⇒ Facebook was analyzed through Facebook Insights.
⇒ Twitter was viewed through Hootsuite.
⇒ Instagram was analyzed through “Iconosquare”

Twitter: Hootsuite
Through analyzing twitter, we noticed that many questions were asked through our twitter newsfeed if there were questions about an event. Twitter does not have the
biggest following or interaction compared to Facebook or Instagram.

Facebook: Insights Facebook Insights showed that most interaction is done on this social media page (commenting, liking, sharing) that helps spread the word about an event. Workers and volunteers in the office did most sharing and interacting instead of the general
public.
