Eleanor Johnson: Service

Hi! My name is Eleanor Johnson, and I am from Snohomish, Washington. I am majoring in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems and have a minor in dance. Outside of class I work with Campus Kitchens, a program on campus that takes leftover food from campus dining to cook warm meals that are then served to Gonzaga Family Haven and O’Malley Senior Center. Along with Setons I am apart of Women in Business, Beta Alpha Psi, and the involved in the Gonzaga dance program. In my free time I like to read, get coffee, take workout classes, and watch Gilmore Girls.   I joined Girl Scouts in first grade and ever since, Service has been extremely important to me and something I strive to keep a part of my life. Growing up in Girl Scouts allowed me to recognize the importance of helping those in my community from an early age and has ultimately led me to be the person I am today. Service was the pillar that drove me to join Setons, and I’m so ...

Hannah Van Hollebeke- Sisterhood

Hello! My name is Hannah Van Hollebeke! Today, I wanted to breakdown my favorite pillar of Setons - sisterhood. In my opinion, sisterhood is the base of what we do, and we couldn’t succeed as much as we do without it. Sisterhood strengthens all 30 girls as a group on campus and through service.

Everyday, I can confidently say that I have 29 others girls who have my back. Twenty nine girls who know what I am going through on a daily basis. Twenty nine girls who remember about certain events in my life and remember to ask me about them. Twenty nine girls who genuinely love me and would most certainly drop anything to be right by my side. It is a loving and fulfilling feeling I feel everyday walking around campus knowing I have the chance to call 29 other girls my sisters.

Through sisterhood, we are able to carry out service to the best of our abilities. We are required to work as a team with service. I am on Tuesday service and we prepare the meal for the week at “Blessings Under the Bridge”. We work as a team to efficiently get the meal prepared. We work in close quarters, so it is important to have that teamwork aspect. It makes service so life-giving working next to my sisters and serving so many people. Tuesday service becomes a highlight of my week knowing I can spend that time with my sisters and serve the community.

Setons wouldn’t be the same without the sisterhood pillar. The 29 other girls have made such a positive impact on my life and I am proud to call myself a Seton.
