Students
Our lab provides Radford students and local researchers with the resources they need to conduct collaborative research with a faculty mentor or complete innovative classroom assignments across a broad range of social media data collection platforms. Members of our staff are available throughout the week to provide one-on-one consultation for how students can strengthen challenging research assignments, honors projects, and theses.
If you are interested in becoming a researcher consider enrolling in the Digital Communications and Research Analytics Minor.
