Bluffton University students make "homes" from cardboard boxes in which to spend the night at a Poverty Awareness Sleep Out on April 6.

Nine students slept on the Shoker Science Center lawn during the event, which was hosted by the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity as part of Civic Engagement Day at Bluffton. The day capped yearlong exploration of the university's 2010-11 civic engagement theme, "Living with Enough: Responding to Global Poverty."
