University of Alabama students will have the chance to participate in an event to raise awareness for poverty issues April 22 at 6 p.m. until April 23 at 6 a.m. Students who have ACTion cards can participate and earn up to 10 SLPro community service hours. The purpose of the event is for students to spend a night with the bare minimum of equipment as a way to imitate homelessness. The University of Alabama Center for Sustainable Service and Volunteerism’s Impacting Poverty Team is hosting the event on the soccer fields next to the Student Recreation Center.
