The Wagner College community traded in their jeans and tool belts and put on their finest last night for a glittery evening designed to raise money and awareness for those who have next to nothing.

The inaugural Habitat for Humanity Gala, held at the school's Student Union, was the first major effort for the campus chapter, which has exploded in popularity since it was established three months ago. There are now 161 members ready to frame walls, swing hammers and hang windows in homes built for those who otherwise wouldn't have them.
