What's a "Hunger Banquet"?
A real Oxfam Hunger Banquet is a banquet without much food. Each of the 100 people attending is randomly assigned a role. 15% of the people get a role in the high income group. 25% of the people get a role in the middle income group. 60% of the attendees get a role as the low end group. For one meal, participants will experience interactively the distribution of wealth/poverty around the world.

Who can attend the banquet?
Our goal for this event is to have representation from all members of the campus community, students, faculty, staff, administration and members of the Board of Trustees.
