Sleep Out
The goal of the sleep-out is to raise awareness about homelessness by putting students in the position of "being" homeless for one night. Throughout the night clubs will run activities, we will write to government officials, and experience a few surprises along the way. Follow this link to reserve your spot in the Sleep-out.
