Alexa Forsmann: Leadership

Hi! My name is Alexa and I'm from Boise, Idaho! I'm currently studying finance in the Business school here at Gonzaga. Outside of school I love staying active and spending time outdoors, whether that's lifting, hiking, paddleboarding, or simply exploring new places. I also love playing basketball, which I get to continue through intramurals here at Gonzaga. One of my favorite things to do with friends is go to the movies, and I absolutely love finding new movies and shows to watch. I'm especially excited for all the fun social events with Setons this year, where I hope to grow closer to the girls in the group while also getting to explore more of Spokane. Along with this, I'm eager to participate in service projects and make a meaningful impact in the community.    Leadership is such a huge part of being a Seton and I intend on growing immensely in this area.

Katie Newman- Retreat

Hello!

My name is Katie Newman! I am one of the two Social Chairs for Setons this year and I was blessed to have been able plan a retreat at Ross Point with Brittany this semester. This retreat was so much greater than either one of us could have ever planned. This retreat included everything from smores to sleeping on the floor with 30 girls with one blanket each (we forgot to bring bedding, oops). Nonetheless, it brought me much closer to all of my sisters. Setons has brought so many amazing girls into my life and I did not truly realize how blessed I was until after this retreat. Each girl on setons brings so much joy and light into my life. From playing a big game of musical chairs to creating a dance with 4 other sisters, I have never smiled or laughed as hard as I did on that Friday night.
Our retreat was the weekend before Thanksgiving break and it could not have fallen on a more perfect weekend. It really got me in the spirit and made me think of how thankful I am. Setons has provided me so many opportunities to grow as a person, from weekly and monthly service, to having a leadership position, to random social events. Our weekly service consists of playing LEGOS on Tuesdays with people from the Arc! This weekly event has brought so much joy into my life. Making new connections with a population in need while getting closer to my 4 other sisters every week. Setons has provided me with the sanity that I need during this crazy year of school. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this semester without the girls on setons. I am SO sad that I only have one more semester seeing these amazing girls at weekly meetings and service!
