Abstract

This research sought to reveal the perceptions of The College of Wooster varsity football team that were held by the college’s students, as well as to determine where the students received their information about the team in order to create a public relations strategy using Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC). The researcher created a survey that included Likert-scale and semantic differential questions to gauge how students perceive the team. The study targeted three particular areas of perception: academics, ethics, and campus involvement. Results of the study found that the students have relatively neutral perceptions of the team and receive the majority of their information through Internet based mediums or through face-to-face conversation.
