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.

Emma Holm - Service


        Hi! My name is Emma Holm and I am a nursing major from Sacramento, California. I am so happy to be back in Spokane this year, even if most of my classes are online. I am especially looking forward to continuing spring semester at school because last year I never got to experience how beautiful Spokane is in the summer. I also can’t wait for Spo Summer 2021 to enjoy the sunshine and hang with my sisters!
        Service has always been an important aspect of my life and I am so glad that I can fulfill this passion through the Setons of Gonzaga. In high school, I volunteered at a soccer camp for children with learning disabilities and loved the time I spent with them. Playing soccer and interacting with them every Saturday was something I always looked forward to and confirmed that nursing was the right path for me. As a Seton, I feel equally fulfilled. I am currently working with Spokane’s Women and Children’s Free Restaurant to provide free food and groceries to women, their children, and families through a contact-less drive-through. I have come to enjoy my work with the volunteers and fellow sisters, and am going to be reaching out to other service groups with Setons to spread the word about the restaurant. This program has not only enabled me to serve the greater Spokane community and learn about the services offered here, but has allowed me to get to know my sisters and my new city better!
