Catherine Steiner - Service

     Hello! My name is Catherine Steiner, I’m from Edmonds, Washington, and I am an English Major with a Concentration in Writing and a double minor in Digital Marketing and Entrepreneurial Leadership. I come from a big Zag family, three out of my four siblings went to Gonzaga so I’ve been going to Family Weekend and visiting campus since I was 7. A little fun fact is that my two older sisters were also in Setons, so I have had a love for this club since I was young! I am currently a part of the Setons Executive Board as this year's class President! As President I am responsible for leading all meetings, and ensure we continuously uphold our pillars of sisterhood, service and leadership. My favorite part about being in Setons has been meeting so many wonderful girls, and being more involved both on and off campus!

Katherine McBee: Service

    Hi there! My name is Katherine McBee and I am from Portland, Oregon! I am a Psychology major, Biology minor, as well as on the Pre-Health track– with the plan to go to med school and become a psychiatrist working in childhood development in the future. Along with being a part of Setons, I love getting involved on campus; I am the Secretary and Treasurer of The Book Club, as well as a member of Craft club and Board Game club, and I also work part-time on campus! In my free time I love to bake, read, crochet, and spend time with friends– either watching movies and tv shows, getting coffee, or just talking! Setons has been such a joyous part of my year, and I am so grateful I get to serve the Gonzaga community, and bond with 29 amazing girls in the process.




    Community Service has always been a big part of my life, so when I learned about Setons, I was thankful to have a chance to gain more access and connection to service opportunities, especially in Spokane and around Gonzaga. This past semester I was part of a group that volunteered at the Boys and Girls Club every Friday, where we would spend time with the kids– playing games, helping with homework, and chatting. Getting to build a connection with the kids really opened my eyes to a fresh perspective. While we didn’t change the kids’ lives in an immense way, we were there when they needed us: whether that be to help with long division or color in a drawing. This experience emphasized how much community service is an immense opportunity to show what an environment really means to you. I learned that by reaching out and helping with the little stuff, we are able to let communities thrive. Volunteering to me will always be significant because it is a cyclical process. When someone volunteers in their community, they make a difference, which in turn affects them. While this might be a selfish motive, it is so rewarding to be able to have a role in this cycle through Setons and claim a part in improving my community and hopefully inspiring others to do the same!
