I came up with an event called Reps For Men which is a lift-a-thon charity event meant to help raise money for a men's health organization and spread awareness of the issues facing men with low testosterone levels.

Low Testosterone Awareness Survey

Hello, I'm posting this to get any last minute survey participants involved. If you haven't filled out the survey yet, please do. Thanks!

Here is a very successful campaign aimed at promoting awareness of men's health issues every November. After registering, the men begin the month of November as clean shaven. Throughout the month, they groom their mustaches and engage in public conversations to bring awareness to men's health. 

The Movember movement has gone global and continues to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health and encourage men to act on this knowledge.

Problem + Purpose Statements

Testosterone levels in men


Problem:
In the last 20 years, testosterone levels in men have dropped considerably due to a number of factors including the consumption of genetically modified foods and lifestyle changes. Lower testosterone levels in men are causing higher rates of depression, erectile dysfunction and decreases in bone density and concentration.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to research and develop a campaign to address the issue of lower testosterone levels in men, and to raise awareness of this phenomenon.

Bay area AIGA student chapters

Problem:

In the bay area, several colleges have active AIGA Student Groups but many don't seem to collaborate with each other outside of the AIGA SF chapter events.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to research and develop an accessible network that allows AIGA student chapters to share events, ideas, and stay up to date with each other.

Smoking sections on campus

Problem:
Despite our pledge to be a smoke-free campus, there are smoking sections located at SF State that are not labeled properly and some locations don't contain any receptacle to throw away the butt, which promotes littering at the university.

Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to research and observe the behavior of students who smoke on campus and develop an effective method for bringing more awareness to the smoking sections and encourage students to dispose of their cigarettes properly.
