Grace Coyle: Service

Hi! My name is Grace and I’m from the Bay Area. I’m pursuing a degree with dual majors in Sport Management and Digital Media/Broadcasting! I love videography, crafting, hiking, camping, surfing, basketball, rugby, and any sport ever! Here at Gonzaga, I’m on the club basketball team, women’s rugby team, and I work in the athletic department as a creative media intern. I’ve loved being a Seton and here is my take on service!        I was originally drawn to Gonzaga because of its Jesuit values that are rooted in the ideas of caring for the whole person, striving to do the best for others, and promoting justice. I was raised in a Catholic family, and ever since my younger brother's cancer journey when I was a kid, I've made a diligent effort to give back to the community.

Artisans Reflection: Matt Reed


Getting the privilege to volunteer every Saturday at Artisans has been one of the greatest experiences I have had here at Gonzaga thus far. When I first met my mentee, Cameron, I knew I we were going to get along quite well when the first thing he said to me was, “The Seahawks are going to crush the 49ers this weekend.” It was quite striking to me but also gave me quite the chuckle. From that first instinct of meeting until the end of hanging out, we talked about the Seahawks the whole time. He knew more about the team and stats from the season than me… which is honestly quite impressive.

Every Saturday from there on out, we spent a majority of our time discussing the previous weeks game and then going onto the computer to at Seahawks highlight videos and such. And then I finally got Cameron to get his mind off Seahawks football and I came to find out he was very good at the board game checkers. Every time I give him a hint on a good move, he makes the remark, “Matt hold on I have a strategy going so I can beat you.” He never fails to beat me.

With only a month or two left of mentoring on the Saturday crew, I truly hope I never lose connection with the members of Artisans and most importantly, Cameron. Through my time at Artisans, I have been told every Saturday by another fellow mentee that I am his best friend and one other whom calls me her boyfriend. Overall, Artisans is an amazing organization.
