Catherine Steiner - Service

     Hello! My name is Catherine Steiner, I’m from Edmonds, Washington, and I am an English Major with a Concentration in Writing and a double minor in Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurial Leadership. I come from a big Zag family, three out of my four siblings went to Gonzaga so I’ve been going to Family Weekend and visiting campus since I was 7. A little fun fact is that my two older sisters were also in Setons, so I have had a love for this club since I was young! I am currently a part of the Setons Executive Board as this year's class President! As President I am responsible for leading all meetings, and ensure we continuously uphold our pillars of sisterhood, service and leadership. My favorite part about being in Setons has been meeting so many wonderful girls, and being more involved both on and off campus!

Jacky Marr- ATTS


Hi Everyone! I am Jacky Marr and this year I have the honor of serving in a leadership role as President of Setons. Our organization’s motto is All Together Through Service, which I believe is the perfect phrase that embodies what we do. We would not be able to help the greater Spokane community without the strong relationships we make with one another.

A fun fact about me is that I actually transferred to GU at second semester last year. It was a wild ride coming to a new University halfway through the year, but the selections process for Setons showed me how many truly amazing females there are in my class. This year has proven that more than I could have imagined. Each member of Setons brings new perspectives, fun jokes, and loads of good ideas to the group. Our weekly meetings always end with great laughs and growing friendships.

One way that my friendships have grown is through service, one of the three pillars that Setons is built on. On Wednesday nights, I get the wonderful opportunity to serve with Blessings Under the Bridge, a nonprofit organization with a focus on aiding those experiencing homelessness in the Spokane area. Jessie Stenberg wrote a little bit about what we do on Wednesday service last week in her blog post, but I also want to share about a specific moment that had a large impact on my perspective. I was helping at the clothing table and one gentleman by the name of Christopher came up and started talking with me. He was extremely passionate about the importance of living in the now, telling those around us how important they are to us, and to consistently affirm those in our life. It was a powerful reminder to appreciate my place at Gonzaga and the amazing relationships that I have formed through Setons. As I look around at the individuals we interact with each Wednesday, it allows me to see that the people I was doing it with makes a difference. While the three pillars; sisterhood, service, and leadership, may seem separate, when intertwined they strengthen not only each individual, but also our organization as a whole.
