SEEK History Project<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The SEEK History Project documents the rich history of the Queens College Percy Ellis Sutton SEEK Program. SEEK<\/a> stands for Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge. It is a higher education opportunity program at Queens College. It was established to provide comprehensive academic support to assist capable students who otherwise might not be able to attend college due to their educational and financial circumstances.<\/p>\n

The project consists of oral history interviews, archival records processing, and public programming, with a focus on the SEEK uprising of 1968\/1969 as well as subsequent joys and challenges experienced by faculty, staff, and students of the program over its 55+ year existence. The physical historical records (Queens College SEEK Records<\/a>) are open for research, and selected items have been digitized for browsing.<\/p>\n
