Sarah Grassel: Service

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Grassel and I’m a Biology major with a Spanish minor. I’m from Corvallis, Oregon, and have lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest. Because of this, I’ve developed a love of the outdoors, especially of hiking, biking, and paddle boarding (and also coffee of course). I love to go on walks, especially on the beach, and like to read, bake, play piano, swim, and spend time with friends and family. At Gonzaga, I’m involved in campus ministry and work as a tutor in math and chemistry, and, of course, I am a Seton. Coming to Gonzaga, I knew I wanted to find a community that valued service and connection. Service has always been an important part of my life. Through volunteering, I’ve gotten to meet so many people from different walks of life while working on various projects. I believe serving others is essential to living a flourishing life. It’s an act of love and humility, recognizing the gifts one has received and working for and with others in gratitude...

Payton Schneider - Sisterhood


    Hi! My name is Payton Schneider. I am a nursing major from Tacoma, Wa. Also, currently, I am this year's co-social chair. Today I am going to share with you an important part of my experience with Setons this year.
    One of the three pillars is Sisterhood, and this year with covid, it has been a difficult year for this aspect. We have still made it a priority and I feel like I have gotten to know the other 29 girls so well this year. Every Wednesday night we have a meeting and that is a great time that we get to spend with our sisters. We also do a thing called sister dates, this is where we get paired with a new girl each week and go on a date with them! It has been super fun to get to know girls on an individual way through these dates. Another element of Sisterhood that I really enjoy is the family aspect. We each have a sister in our class and a big in the class above us. It has been really nice to get to know a girl from the class above me and to know that I have someone else that I can turn to. This past Sunday we had Welcome Day and we were able to greet the 30 new girls into the club! It was such a fun day and I’m so excited to get to know my little Riley Hoopes better! I hope the new girls have so much fun and that they develop an even stronger sense of sisterhood!
