Sarah Grassel: Service

Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Grassel and I’m a Biology major with a Spanish minor. I’m from Corvallis, Oregon, and have lived my whole life in the Pacific Northwest. Because of this, I’ve developed a love of the outdoors, especially of hiking, biking, and paddle boarding (and also coffee of course). I love to go on walks, especially on the beach, and like to read, bake, play piano, swim, and spend time with friends and family. At Gonzaga, I’m involved in campus ministry and work as a tutor in math and chemistry, and, of course, I am a Seton. Coming to Gonzaga, I knew I wanted to find a community that valued service and connection. Service has always been an important part of my life. Through volunteering, I’ve gotten to meet so many people from different walks of life while working on various projects. I believe serving others is essential to living a flourishing life. It’s an act of love and humility, recognizing the gifts one has received and working for and with others in gratitude...

Gena Goforth: Sisterhood

Hi! My name is Gena Goforth, and I'm from Seattle, WA. I'm an Applied Math major and a WGST minor. I'm in the Honors program here at GU and I love to dance! I've mainly done ballet, but I enjoy lots of different styles. I spend a lot of time studying, but I love to hang out with my friends whenever I can, especially with a chill game/movie night in. I'm so excited to be a Seton this year!


My pillar to reflect on is Sisterhood. I chose this pillar because it's so important to me, and it is the main reason I joined Setons. I went to an all-girls high school, and I had such an amazing time developing a safe and inclusive community. I knew I wanted to have that experience again, and I'm so grateful I get to with Setons. I have had so much fun already, from my weekly sister dates (even though a lot of them have been cog dates) to getting to know my fellow Setons better at socials. Or just getting together for fun stuff like dinners and baking! I think sisterhood is one of the most valuable and life-changing things that someone can experience. I'm so happy I get to spend time with so many talented, thoughtful, and supportive women. I love that the Setons sisterhood is a caring community where we all lift each other up and cheer each other on!
