Students enrolled in the PSY 222: Social Psychology course are set to host an engaging Hunger Banquet on December 8, taking place in the Crabiel Hall Brunswick room from 9:30 to 10:50 a.m. This interactive event aims to raise awareness about global hunger and food inequality, inviting the college community to participate in a unique experience that simulates the disparities in food distribution.

During the banquet, attendees will be randomly assigned to different socioeconomic classes, which will determine the amount and type of food they receive. This immersive experience is designed to provoke thought and discussion surrounding the issues of poverty and hunger that affect millions worldwide.

The event not only serves as an educational opportunity for students but also fosters a sense of community engagement and social responsibility. Organizers encourage everyone to attend, as this event promises to be both informative and impactful, highlighting the importance of understanding social issues through the lens of psychology.
