Mary Maidment: Service

Hi! My name is Mary Maidment and I am from Portland, Oregon. I am studying neuroscience with a minor in psychology on the pre-med track. On campus, I work as an events assistant and as an Ambassador, frequently giving tours. When I have free time, I love to be outside hiking, shopping, intramural sports, workout classes, and spending time with friends. This year, my team won our softball and volleyball intramural championships!! I have been busy watching the new Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season and just finished Scandal. What drew me to Setons was the Service pillar. Since I was young, my family has made an effort to be actively involved in different forms of service in our community. We spent time at our church, local food bank, community garden, and my favorite was making clothing bags for children in need. I loved picking outfits and giving toys, games, and other activities.

Kate Ferrell: Service



Hey guys, my name is Kate Ferrell. I am an accounting major, and a history minor. I am from Western Springs IL, which is a suburb of Chicago. I love to run and am on Gonzaga’s women's cross country and track team, but my true passion is the intramural softball team I was on this fall. I also play piano in my free time and am a part of a film club so if you ever want to watch a movie on a Thursday night with your friends stop by Jundt 110. Some of my favorite things to do outside school and running is snowboarding, hiking, and getting froyo with friends!
I am going to be reflecting on the Setons pillar of Service. Service is a crucial part of our club, but it also holds a particularly special place in my heart. I was very active in the organization Dare2Tri when I was in highschool, which focused on helping disabled kids complete triathlons. I was a guide all throughout highschool, and loved helping the kids complete triathlons. Last fall I got to work more closely with kids again at OneHeart. OneHeart is an after school organization for children of the Spokane area that provides a place for kids to go to for dinner, and a chance to play games with other children. The relationships I made with the kids at the end of the semester really was one of the highlights of my time at Gonzaga so far. I am looking forward to more service opportunities this spring. I think of all the pillars Service is the one that I find the most rewarding in my life.
