In November, approximately 100 participants, including students from Goodwin College’s 移动 (Men of Vision in Education) and 明智的 (Women Invested in Securing an Education) programs, participated in a homelessness awareness event at Saint Joseph University. 第三届一年一度的“回家之旅”为大学生们提供了了解不同类型无家可归者的机会。
“回家之旅”是一家致力于结束大哈特福德地区长期无家可归现象的当地非营利组织，该组织组织了这次年度活动。 Students took part in a number of activities throughout the night including the screening of a documentary on homelessness in Hartford, a panel discussion with formerly homeless speakers, a “Privilege Walk,” and a “Bridges Out of Poverty” activity.
“I thought it was a really great experience to see what it was like to live in the life of a homeless person. I really enjoyed hearing the speakers talk about how they overcame adversity of being homeless.” 贞洁福尔摩斯，明智
“The Cardboard Sleep Out really changed my view on homelessness. 起初，我认为无家可归的人是吸毒成瘾的人，而不是受经济影响的人。 I was moved by the speaker who talked about how his mental health affected his whole life.” 内森·帕尼科，快走
“I thought the Cardboard Sleep Out was an opportunity for Goodwin College students to be informed and experience homelessness in their surrounding communities and on a national scale. 在这次经历中，我能够获得无家可归的知识。 我从亲身经历过的人那里听说过。 他们告诉我他们所面临的困难以及他们是如何克服这些困难的。 It made me realize that anyone can face homelessness and that more needs to be done to help people avoid homelessness.” 以利亚·提尔曼，让开
