✨ Understanding Homelessness: A Community Conversation ✨
As part of UTC’s First Year Composition Program in collaboration with UTC English, the Honors College, and the College of Arts & Sciences, students are reading When We Walk By by Kevin Adler and Donald Burnes — a powerful exploration of homelessness in America through personal stories and systemic insight.
To deepen this conversation, we’re hosting a panel discussion on Homelessness featuring local advocates and organizations working directly with our unhoused neighbors. Please join us for a moderated conversation and student Q&A. All are welcome!
