Student Experiences
Student Life
Student Name: Eric Sader, McPherson College, Fall 2008
Organization: Student Life
Contact Information: http://www.studentlife.co.nz/otago 
Description: Student Life went on retreats, had weekly meetings, did outreach events, such as Bring the Love. When combining these activities with a population far less Christian than in my upbringing, it helped me deeply examine and strengthen my own faith.
Student Soul
Student Name: Eric Sader, McPherson College, Fall 2008
Organization: Student Soul
Contact Information: http://www.studentsoul.church.net.nz/
Description: Student Soul is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. It is a nice, casual, upbeat service to attend. It also has smaller discussion groups and occasionally other activities, including a weekend camp I attended. The evening schedule and welcoming atmosphere made it always easy to utilize.
Student Association
Student Name: Eric Sader, McPherson College, Fall 2008
Organization: Student Association
Contact Information: http://www.ousa.co.nz/
Description: I signed up for a couple activities through the student association on campus. One I particularly enjoyed was a Kava ceremony acquainting one with the Fijian community. This and many, many others were offered.
Mentor Program
Student Name: Eric Sader, McPherson College, Fall 2008
