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...

Charlotte Low- Sisterhood

Hello there! 

I wanted to share with you all how I’ve experienced the wonderful aspect of sisterhood this year. Sisterhood is one of our three pillars, the other two being service and leadership. Upon joining Setons, there were many names and faces that I did not know. Just in the first few weeks, I was filled with gratitude for the friendships that began to form. My sisters in Setons are one’s filled with support and are lights of joy on this campus. Something that I have really grown to appreciate is our weekly sister dates. Each week, we are paired with a new sister and have the week to go spend time with each other. Sisters can spend their date doing whatever they would like. Some examples include getting a meal at the COG, grabbing Starbucks, going out for ice cream. My sister dates have been wonderful in the ways that I get the opportunity to learn about my new friends and grow closer with them. A few weeks ago, I had a date with Nancy and we sat in Hemmingson, the student center, and played cards over some scrumptious sandwiches. Last week, I grabbed Starbucks with Sophie before our meeting and simply talked about life. These were two incredible instances of how I have experienced how life-giving my sisters are. I am grateful for these moments where my sisters show me through their actions, words, and time how important sisterhood is. Sisters support each other in all of our joy and stresses and make every day one of excitement and unbounding love.
