ELLA MOORE: LEADERSHIP

 Hi! My name is Ella Moore and I'm a nursing major from Kenmore, Washington. I love spending time outdoors (whether it's hiking, skiing, or running), as well as reading, journaling, playing volleyball and trying new coffee shops. As many of my friends and sisters can confirm, my relationship with coffee and caffeine is less of a habit and more of a lifestyle. Another fun fact is that my mom, Kari Moore, was also a Seton in 1996–1997, making it so special to share this part of our Gonzaga experiences together. It's been a privilege to be part of the Seton community so far and I'm so excited to keep serving the Spokane community and cultivating even closer relationships with my sisters! For my pillar, I will be sharing my perspective on leadership! The pillar of leadership holds a special place in my heart because I believe that being a leader is about so much more than simply holding a title or position.

Bridget Wilson- Service

 Hello! My name is Bridget Wilson, and I am from Sammamish, WA. I am one of the Service Chairs for this class of Setons. I am majoring in history and double-minoring in political science and solidarity and social justice (phew – that’s a mouthful). When I’m not Seton-ing, you can find me playing clarinet in the bulldog band at basketball games, grabbing a drink at one of the many cool coffee and tea shops in Spokane, or curled up reading a good book.


The pillar I want to reflect on is service. I am very passionate about service (as evidenced by my executive position, though reflecting on my experience in leadership would take this blogpost in a whole different direction), but being a Seton has presented me with so many amazing opportunities that I wasn’t even aware existed. While I love everything about service, I would have to say that doing weekly service is my favorite. Last semester, I had the pleasure of serving at Childbirth and Parenting Assistance (CAPA), a branch of Catholic Charities. At CAPA, our group got involved in many different ways – we packaged diapers and baby wipes, sorted children’s clothing, and put together holiday decorations (in the picture, we were helping make a thankful tree to decorate the space and that the families could write on!). My personal favorite volunteer activity was putting together clothing orders for the families. At CAPA, a family could place a clothing order every 60 days for all their children. When these orders were received, my sisters and I got to take a trip to the clothing room and pick out outfits that corresponded with the gender and age of the child, as well as the season that we were in. It was so fun to see all the cute baby clothes, and I loved picking out outfits for the children. Weekly service ended up being the perfect getaway from school, and the service and girls I got to do it with filled my heart up every week.
