PERCS Sponsored Projects

One of the primary goals of PERCS is to develop, launch and support ethnographic research and community studies and make this research available to students, faculty and the general public. Completed projects are listed below. You can find descriptions of the projects online with some photos and audio or video clips but the full documentation is housed in the PERCS archives in Lindner 207.

If you are interested in developing a project under the auspices of PERCS, or working on an on-going project, contact a current director of PERCS.
