• Market departments/programmes internally and externally.

• Acquire research grants and partners.

• Register oral presenters from other tertiary institutions.

• Engage high school students in competition(s) culminating in research day participation.

Threats

• Competition from other institutions having similar events

• Clash of college events scheduled for same week or close proximity

• Lack of attachment of students to the institution
• Apathy of staff. Low staff engagement

 Conclusion

Overall, Research Day 2019 was a good showing for the college which clearly demonstrated the
potential to galvanize staff and students around research, innovation and development. There are

several opportunities that have been identified and others yet to be discussed in a wider forum and
these must be explored in an effort to improve our product. With strategic planning efforts and

increased enthusiasm and support from the wider college community, we anticipate PCC Research
Day 2020 will be bigger and better.
