Ryan Alemao		Hi everyone! My name is Nicole Lau and I am starting my second year, studying History and Ethics, Society and Law at U of T. I discovered Newman in my first year and I have attended ever since. I hail from Hong Kong (the city that never sleeps! Love it!), and came to Toronto to test the waters of independent living and for my studies. I was part of the summer team this year, and having had such great experiences, I am looking forward to this year! My interests are typical: sunrises, baking treats, making puzzles and long walks around the city. I am absolutely wild about reading and writing poetry, listening to music (especially guitar and acapella), and of course, ridiculous amounts of knitting. I look forward to meeting many of you and getting to know you. I am ecstatic to be one of the team this year, and will work to give my best to each occasion. I end with a simple proverb that I try to live by: "The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once."

Student Campus Ministers are an integral component of the Newman Centre's Campus Ministry Initiative. Under the supervision of the Chaplaincy Coordinator and Executive Director, Student Campus Ministers are first and foremost part of the Newman Centre Residential Community. This Community is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, striving to hear and live the Word of God in the Tradition of the Roman Catholic Church. Thus, Student Campus Ministers are bearers of and witnesses to Christ. Our deepest unity and meaning is found in the celebration of the Eucharist, a celebration that does not end with the Mass, but is instead the focal point that invigorates all our activities.

Each member of the Campus Ministry Team plays an important role in the overall campus outreach of the Newman Centre, bringing his or her own unique personality, talents and skills to the community-at-large. This experience also provides the opportunity for a significant deepening and sharing of personal faith (peer ministry), helping others to grow in the process.

Some of the Newman Centre's programs and activities require a team effort and presence in which the Student Campus Ministers act as a group. During these events, together we provide an environment in which University students and parishioners can come to a deeper involvement and understanding of faith and God, community and friendship, social justice and compassion for others.
