Saint Mary’s students sleep outside to raise awareness of homeless

Saint Mary’s students slept in cardboard boxes the night of Thursday, April 3, during the annual shak-a-thon, part of Habitat for Humanity’s Act!Speak!Build! Week. The box houses and luminaries will remain up throughout today.

A week of activities was designed to raise awareness about the millions of people who do not have adequate shelter to sleep.

Additionally both SMU and Winona State University students completed a “Walk to Rally” on Tuesday.
