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.

Kennedy Earley - Service


    Hey there, my name is Kennedy Earley and I am from Sacramento, California! I am currently studying Communications as my major, and Broadcasting and Public Relations as my minor! I enjoy doing any outside activity whether that means hiking, swimming, playing soccer, basketball, or any other sport!
    Currently, I am fundraising chair in Setons and have been having an absolute blast. This year started out a little difficult due to the complications with COVID-19 but I think as a group we have done as best as we can. One thing I learned this year from Setons was the practice of putting oneself out there. I learned to put myself out there in leadership, sisterhood, and service. In leadership, I was able to run for an executive position and learn all about organization and responsibility. In sisterhood, I was able to communicate with my sisters and grow closer with them through the effort I put in. And finally, in service, I was able to meet new people in the Spokane area and see how my work translates into real change. Although I do appreciate all these pillars in Setons, I admire the service pillar the most. In Setons I have been given the opportunity to reach out to the greater Spokane area and volunteer at least two hours a week. For me, I get to volunteer at St. Anne’s Child and Family Center where I sort clothing, make pro-parent projects, and organize the facility to make it easier for families to find the items they need that week. Service in Setons really provides me with a different kind of happiness than other activities in life because I get to do it with my sisters and feel as though I can make small differences that build into bigger changes. ATTS forever :)))
