Audrey Mitchell: Leadership

Hi Everyone! My name is Audrey, and I’m from Seattle, Washington! I’m majoring in Economics and Business Administration with a concentration in Law and Public Policy and a minor in Leadership. On campus, I’m involved in the Comprehensive Leadership Program and Setons! In my free time, I love playing tennis, reading, and hanging out with friends and family. Something Seton related that I’m looking forward to is the retreat! I’m so excited to have time with all my sisters! The pillar in Setons that I’m most involved in is Leadership! I appreciate that Setons takes a leadership role not only in the Gonzaga community but also in the larger Spokane community through service in Spokane and on-campus event planning. It’s such a wonderful way to get involved in our communities. I am also so excited to be the Vice President of Setons and to work behind the scenes to make Setons as amazing as possible! Helping lead weekly meetings and Executive Board meetings with Kenzie has also been so fun, an...

Amber Sety- Service


Hi everyone! My name is Amber Sety, I’m from Spokane and my majors are Biology and Psychology!

Growing up in Spokane, I never thought I wanted to go to Gonzaga, but when it came time to apply to and decided on schools, I found myself right here at GU. I loved high school, and it was there that I developed my passion for both leadership and science, as well as made life-long friendships with some of the best people this world has to offer. Something you should know about it me is that I am BIG on people. My sisters, my nieces and nephews, my friends and all the other people I get to connect with in this life, combined with my love for God, are what give me purpose. I’m grateful to Setons for giving me the opportunity to meet 29 other fantastic women with service mindsets and hearts of gold.

In my application for Setons, I mentioned how closely the pillars of sisterhood, leadership and service align with my personal mission statement. Each is incredibly important in my life, and being a Seton has only affirmed my belief that all three of these values are interconnected and must work together to create real and meaningful impact. Take my service placement, for example. I have the wonderful gift of working with Blessings Under the Bridge to serve Spokane citizens suffering from homelessness and other basic need insecurities. While this work most obviously aligns with the Seton pillar of service, in showing up each week for two hours, we not only strengthen the bond of sisterhood between us Setons, but we build relationship with the organization’s leaders as well as the individuals within the population we serve. We also get to partake in our pillar of leadership by participating as active leaders within the Spokane community. I truly love how, as Setons, our service placements not only directly benefit the organizations that we serve, but teach each of us so much about selflessness, humility, gratitude and commitment. I know that not only am I contributing to good work as a Seton, but by being a part of this meaningful sisterhood, I am learning more about what it means to serve and see leadership in action. I’m incredibly grateful to the Setons organization for giving me the opportunity to serve, to grow as a leader, and to make 29 new friends!
