about what the student is learning, what they are experiencing as a student, and how they might
need support and care.
2. Volunteer to work on a congregational committee for a period of at least 1 year. Committees
such as Outreach, Education, Mission or Fellowship are good choices as they mirror the College
committees. OR

Committee of St. Andrew’s College for 1 year.
