Kennesaw State University students will sleep outside on campus grounds this week to raise awareness on homeless issues. Participating students are charged with finding food and shelter while keeping up with their classes during a 42 hours Sleep Out. The weeklong event, ending with a candlelight vigil 8:30 p.m. Friday, is sponsored by the university’s CARE Center which helps homeless students.
