Poverty Simulation

On Friday, March 8th and Saturday, March 9th, the ILCPO helped host poverty simulations for over 100 UM Dearborn students at Kochoff Hall.

 

The Poverty Reduction Initiative led students from sociology, political science, economics, business, and urban & regional studies courses through the roles of low income citizens who must figure out how to negotiate various private and public organizations in order to pay the bills, provide food and shelter for their families, and keep their children in school.
