Student Spotlight
Sarah Reinhardt is senior at NDSU studying Natural Resources Management. She is from Burnsville, MN and is one of the Peer Ministers this coming semester. Here's what Sarah wanted to share about the Newman Center:

"My favorite thing about the Newman Center is the community surrounding it. There is always something going on and people around to have good conversations with. Most of my good friendships from college have been through Newman. I think it’s because we share the Eucharist together and that has bound us into natural and strong relationships."
