 About 25 students slept in hastily assembled shelters at the UVA amphitheater on April 2, a way of raising awareness for the need for more affordable housing. The students held a “Shack-a-thon” contest that involved building shelters out of recycled cardboard boxes. The event was organized by the UVA Campus Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. |
