Yuna Jang: Sisterhood

Hello! My name is Yuna and I am from Sacramento, California. A bit about my home life, I have a sister who currently attends Baylor University on track to become a doctor and I am currently studying nursing. My parents own their own sushi restaurant so I can confidently say sushi is my favorite food (and I know good sushi). Other than Setons, I am also involved in the Gonzaga Student Nurses Association here on campus as well as when I’m at home from school, I work at my local gym’s kid’s club because I love working with kids! Although nursing is pretty rigorous academically, in my spare time I live with 3 other roommates and we love to cook, watch movies, go on walks, and shop!  I chose the Seton pillar of sisterhood. This pillar is truly what drew me to Setons in the first place. As a 2nd semester freshman girl, I felt like I had met a lot of people but didn’t truly connect with any to call them a close friend. However, once I joined Setons, I got to truly and deeply connect with ...

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!
