The Human Faustus Project – Students explored the ethics of genetic engineering and created an original play to engage the public in dialogue on bioethical issues.

The Other Side of Middletown – Students involved in the seminar produced a book, published by San Francisco-based publisher AltaMira, focusing on the ethnographic study of Muncie's black community, a population overlooked in the original Middletown studies conducted in the 1920s. The book recently earned the Margaret Mead Award for outstanding research.

Downtown Dinner Theatre – Students created a professional, not-for-profit dinner theatre providing internships and professional theatrical experiences for Ball State University students and Muncie and Delaware County community members.

Making Your Way Back – Students produced a documentary featuring three area cancer survivors who told their own personal tales of surviving the often-deadly disease. The Cancer Center at Ball Memorial Hospital distributes the DVDs to its patients.
