Laila Zommers: Sisterhood

     Hello! My name is Laila Zommers and I’m from Seattle, WA. I’m double majoring in Accounting and Business Administration (with a Finance concentration). I am the oldest of 3, and my younger sister (17) and younger brother (15) are my best friends! Joining Setons this year has truly been one of the best decisions I have EVER made. Outside of Setons, I am an active member in the Gonzaga Women in Business club. I love to cook, go on runs, hang out with friends, shop, and explore the Spokane coffee scene.                                            Out of our three pillars, I have resonated the most with Sisterhood as it’s the backbone of everything we do in Setons. Leadership and service could not thrive the same without it. Finding a group of like-minded women has been super beneficial in my college experience and my growth into the young woman I am today.

Alyssa Helgesen - Service


    Hello!! My name is Alyssa Helgesen and I am a Business major with a minor in Sports Management. I am from just outside Seattle in Bellevue, WA. I am on the rowing team here at Gonzaga and love hiking, swimming, hanging out with friends, and watching One Tree Hill or The Bachelor on Mondays :)
    Out of the three pillars, the Service pillar has made the biggest impact on me. This past year I had the opportunity to volunteer for Catholic Charities in the CAPA program. We helped with whatever was needed that week so it was always a surprise what we were going to do! One of the tasks we did was sorting clothing donations, or anything else that could be helpful to people in need such as makeup for moms, blankets, diapers, baby supplies, games, etc. Another task was around spring time making goody bags that had sunflower kits to plant sunflowers and we got to decorate the bags we put them in. These are some of the activities we got to do and each thing was small but meant so much to the people receiving these things so it was amazing to see how the little things can add up to make a bigger impact. Seeing how thankful CAPA was to have us there every week made me so excited to go and leave there every week feeling like I made a difference in someone’s life. I am so thankful for Setons for giving me this experience to connect with the Spokane community and am thankful for CAPA for allowing us to have this amazing experience even in this crazy year.
