Valeria Lopez: Service

Hi sisters! My name is Valeria Lopez, and I’m a Public Health and Political Science major from Sunnyside, Washington, which is in Central WA about 40 minutes from Yakima! In my free time, I love exploring new restaurants and café spots, snowboarding, and staying active; whether that’s lifting, yoga, or pilates. Fitness has become such an important part of keeping my mind and body healthy. I also recently picked up painting again, which has always been something I’ve loved since I was little, it’s super relaxing and helps me unwind after busy days. Outside of Setons, I serve as the On-Campus Senator for GSBA and sit on the Governance and Health & Safety Committees. I’m also a pre-nursing student at Spokane Community College, working toward myADN to become a public health nurse. The pillar that resonates most with me is Service. Growing up in a mostly Hispanic community where many people only spoke Spanish, my parents always encouraged me to help others by translating or volunteering...

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.
