Summary of Project: (100 words or less.) 
For my project, I decided to document the student organization called Humans vs. Zombies - Madison.   This project will document what Humans Vs. Zombies is, what HvZ does, how they do it, and mainly what the reactionary behaviors are when they play a game.   HvZ is an organization that plays a large game of tag on campus, where the members use Nerf Guns to tag each other.  With the several types of games they play, I plan to focus on the difference in behavioral reactions when they are tagged as either a human or a Zombie.
