Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Erica Van Gelder - Sisterhood

    

    Hey! My name is Erica Van Gelder. I am a nursing ROTC major from Lak Tahoe, CA. I am also the Attorney General for Setons this year. Today I am here to share with you my experience with my sisters this past year. 
    One of the three pillars of Setons is sisterhood and although it has been difficult with COVID this year we have still been able to make this a priority. We have done this through our weekly meetings over zoom and our sister dates. Every Wednesday night we get to see all 29 girls on camera but also go on one on ones every week. These sister dates include coffee, walks around campus, and getting food. It has been so much fun getting to know my sisters by talking straight for over an hour. We all come from different places, have different backgrounds, different hobbies, and different majors but one thing we have in common is our love for Setons. We all believe in service, sisterhood, and leadership. As sisters we love to be silly like having makeup tutorials, dressing up like we are going to a basketball game. talking about various shows and how cut the Duke is from Bridgertom, and just ranting to each other about school and how frustrating Victoria is from The Bachelor. COVID may have posed some challenges but that did not stop us from having fun and getting to know one another. I cannot wait to continue to spend time with my sisters and grow closer with them. We have an amazing group of girls and I believe great friendships are going to from.
