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. The Gonzaga community reflects this deeply ingrained value I have, which is the importance of service and ...

Jenna Johnston: Leadership

    Hi y’all! My name is Jenna Johnston and I am from Billings, MT. I am majoring in Criminology and am minoring in German (weird combo - I know)! You should also know that I have a very serious coke (the beverage) addiction. I will not drink diet coke, coke zero, or anything pepsi; coke only. I am hoping to one day work in corrections and help people live their lives to their fullest potential. I like to think that I am active on campus, as I have two jobs and am a part of four clubs. When I heard about Setons, I just knew that I had to join and get myself one of the super swanky sweatshirts. In all seriousness, it sounded like a club that was perfect for me. Who doesn’t want to serve the community with 29 of their closest friends?!


                

  

  I have always loved to be in clubs and to be active in school activities, but I have never been one to hold a leadership position. That all changed for me when I became a Seton and became my class’ chaplain. Leadership in Setons has been one of the greatest experiences for me. I have made some very good friends and get to be more involved with all the girls. I get to help with certain functions of the club and I get to make the girls smile every week (my way of saying I have the best job 🥰). It makes me so happy to be a leader that the girls can come to for anything and I do my best to step up to the plate to help out wherever needed. Leadership has also been important for me when spending time at my service placement, the Boys and Girls Club. The kids at the club know no boundaries, so it is important for the volunteers to be both compassionate and headstrong. I have learned a lot about my abilities with patience and empathy. Both my position within Setons and my experience in service have provided me with invaluable experience in leadership, showing me how my skills can make a difference both within our club and our community. I am forever grateful for this group of girls <3 !
