Karina Mora-Villalobos: Sisterhood

  Hello! My name is Karina and I am from a small town in Washington called Duvall. I’m pursuing a degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in digital marketing. I enjoy hanging out with my family & friends, baking, going on walks, and watching all kinds of movies! I am a first-generation student here at Gonzaga and have nothing but love for this school, since my freshman year in high school I knew I wanted to attend GU. On campus I have a job at the learning studio located in foley, I am an active member of Gonzagas women in business club and enjoy late nights at the RFC with my friends!    Growing up I had a sister who was 8 years older than me which made me cherish my friendships a lot more since for a long time she wasn’t always home. Coming to Gonzaga I knew how much community meant to the student body which helped me feel a lot better about meeting so many people and curating meaningful friendships. When I got to learn a l...

Tara Summerfelt: Leadership

       Hey everyone! My name is Tara Summerfelt, and I am from Long Beach, California. I am currently majoring in Biology and Criminology with a minor in Leadership Studies. With these degrees, I want to pursue a career in Forensics. In order to get to know me a little bit better I’ll tell you that my favorite band is The Wrecks, I spend all of my Bulldog Bucks at Starbucks, and I have a goldendoodle puppy named Bodie who is my pride and joy. Due to the fact that I am quite committed to my studies, I spend my free time hanging out with friends and participating in my other commitments at Gonzaga. I look forward to hanging out with my sisters every week whether it be at service, meetings, or socials. I am so incredibly grateful to be part of such a wonderful community filled with great leaders and sisters.


        The Setons of Gonzaga have three pillars which are service, sisterhood and leadership. In this post I will be focusing on leadership due to the fact that the desire to be a good leader plays a very important role in my life. A good leader isn’t someone who is overpowering, a good leader is someone who listens to others and helps them grow as people. The leadership pillar states that we as Setons are responsible for striving to act in ways which embody a spirit of serving others before yourself and leading by example. Not only are we responsible for leading each other as Setons, we are responsible for leading those around us through service. I am part of the Comprehensive Leadership Program here at Gonzaga and am seeing constant crossovers between the leadership within that program and the leadership I see in Setons. The term servant leadership is practiced constantly in Setons. It is a style of leadership that focuses on the growth and well-being of people and the communities in which they belong. Although us Setons belong to the Gonzaga community, we also belong to the Spokane communities and all the communities within our service placements. Setons are sisters in service, but we are all leaders through sisterhood and service.
