    Abstract
    This session will discuss the topic of students experiencing homelessness. This topic has received limited attention despite these hard economic times that include rising tuition rates, requirements for higher degrees to secure employment and a lack of transitional support upon graduation. It is imperative that we take a closer look at the factors that are causing this prevalent issue to sweep our nation. The presentation will include a closer look at the College’s undergraduate students who self-identified as homeless in the Campus Climate Study (November 2013). Our aim is to increase awareness of college students’ homelessness through data and personal experiences, provide a model for addressing the needs of these students, as well as strategies for the College to identify these students before they drop out of higher education.
