Claire Sladovnik: Leadership

       Hi! My name is Claire Sladovnik and I am from Littleton, Colorado! I am currently double majoring in International Studies and Sociology with a minor in Critical Race & Ethnic Studies. I adore traveling, spending quality time outside, making lattes with my espresso machine, and then buying lattes after making them doesn't always work out for me:). On campus I am in Drumline, a member of the National Honor Society of Leadership and Success, overly competitive in intramurals, and, of course, I am in Setons! It is only October, but I am already so incredibly grateful for the women and experiences I have the privilege of surrounding myself around every single week.     The pillar I love growing most in is Leadership. To me, a leader isn't just someone who holds a title, but a person who paves a path through their actions, intentions, lifestyle, words, or relationships.

Katie Aguirre - Service


Howdy howdy !!
    My name I Katie Aguirre, I am a nursing major from Northern California and one of this year's co-service chairs! My top three picks of life are ABBA, car jam sessions, and almond butter.
    Having grown up serving the Chico community with my mom and younger sister, I knew this is something I wanted to continue pursuing throughout my time at Gonzaga. As I came across Setons, I knew this was an organization for me as it involved meeting new girls who were just as passionate as myself and serving the greater community each and every week. As a result, of this passion, I ran to be service chair and was even elected! While, at this point, we have not started our service yet, it is by far my favorite pilar. Serving others is something which I value deeply and being able to reach out to the community and work with organizations that each of us girls are passionate about and deeply invested in and with.
    As I begin working with displaced children and their mothers and Transitions Living Center (TLC) this upcoming week, I am beyond thrilled and overcome with emotion at being able to continue a passion my mother instilled in me from a young age. Further forging the bond with the four other girls I will be volunteering with each week is something I look forward to and know will only deepen my love for giving back and the sisters I am so lucky to have.
    Having a break each week to give back and get away from the stress of microbiology and human anatomy is something I am looking forward to. I cannot wait for the experiences to come and the memories made as we begin to serve and grow closer to not only the community but one another!
