Can You Imagine Life Below the Poverty Line?

Westminster faculty, staff, and students engaged  in a role-play poverty simulation that gave them a taste of what life below the poverty line is like for those families and individuals that live it every day.  Participants formed families and learned what it’s like to pay bills and run a household on a low income.

Local news station KOMU covered the event; watch the news clip here.
