Nov. 7, 2018 - Each year, the week before Thanksgiving, National Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week (HHAW) is held to share compassion and draw attention to those in our community who may be experiencing hunger and/or homelessness. This year, CSUCI will recognize HHAW Nov. 13 through 16 and is pleased to partner with the rest of the nation to draw attention to the issues college students are facing with hunger and homelessness.
