Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week View All Events With no presumption that they could know what it really means to be homeless, Saint Michael's College students are nevertheless again putting in time in a "shack" to better understand homelessness. For at least the last decade, Saint Michael's students have erected a crude wooden structure in the middle of the campus green, and have taken shifts to inhabit this 'shack' day and night for a week, this time from Sunday, Nov. 11 to Friday, Nov. 16. The project is part of hunger and homelessness awareness week with lectures and service projects throughout the week.
