Sarah Grassel: Service

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Grassel and I’m a Biology major with a Spanish minor. I’m from Corvallis, Oregon, and have lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest. Because of this, I’ve developed a love of the outdoors, especially of hiking, biking, and paddle boarding (and also coffee of course). I love to go on walks, especially on the beach, and like to read, bake, play piano, swim, and spend time with friends and family. At Gonzaga, I’m involved in campus ministry and work as a tutor in math and chemistry, and, of course, I am a Seton. Coming to Gonzaga, I knew I wanted to find a community that valued service and connection. Service has always been an important part of my life. Through volunteering, I’ve gotten to meet so many people from different walks of life while working on various projects. I believe serving others is essential to living a flourishing life. It’s an act of love and humility, recognizing the gifts one has received and working for and with others in gratitude...

Evan Harrison: Artisans Reflection

The most rewarding part of service at Artisans has been watching the progression of my mentee and I's relationship. At the beginning, Micah was very quiet and seemed nervous to be around me. However, as the weeks have progressed it has been fun to establish a relationship with him, where he is actually excited to see me and we both make each other laugh. Sometimes we play his version of the board game "Sorry!" where he draws all the cards and then moves his pieces an arbitrary number of spaces. It sounds tedious but we end up just laughing the whole time. He has also become much more talkative which was very apparent at the Gonzaga Womens basketball game where he could not stop yelling GO COUGS!!! Overall, it has been a fulfilling experience to watch Micah progress and I am excited for the weeks to come.
