Quint Geis, a May 2015 Student Affairs master's graduate, was mentioned in an article in the Aug. 24 Chronicle of Higher Education. The article described the experiences of homeless college students. Geis did research on the topic for his master's thesis. In the article, he is quoted as saying homeless college students just want to be "normal, regular students." The article also notes that Geis' findings showed that these students felt disconnected from peers and got little support from their schools.
