Annual OxFam Hunger Banquet helps Students understand Global Poverty

Last November, the campus recognized National Hunger and Homelessness Week.  This week aims to make people more aware about poverty in the U.S. and what we can do to help. I attended the OxFam Hunger Banquet which was an interactive simulation of global poverty held here on campus, and it turned out to be extremely powerful. As people attended the event, we were randomly chosen to be in the low, middle, or high income class. The high income class was said to have had an annual income of $8,000 and more, the middle income class was between $2,500-$8,000, and the low income class was less than $2,500.
