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.

Emmeline Penn - Service


    Hi there! My name is Emmeline Penn, and I am a Psychology major with a Business minor here at Gonzaga. I am from Mercer Island, WA which is about 15 minutes outside of Seattle. In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends, go boating, try new foods, and watch movies. 
    Out of the three pillars of Setons, this year's service made the biggest impact on me. I was extremely lucky to get the opportunity to work with kids through Transitions Living Center every week. It did not take long to build an unbreakable bond with each child there, and seeing their faces light up every time we walked in was so special. We would play with the kids, make them food, help them with homework, and just talk. Despite the moods or emotions of the kids that day, it was always the most rewarding feeling. There is no feeling like making an upset kid smile. I am very thankful for Setons and TLC for this opportunity to work with them, it truly has been life-changing.
