Yuna Jang: Sisterhood

Hello! My name is Yuna and I am from Sacramento, California. A bit about my home life, I have a sister who currently attends Baylor University on track to become a doctor and I am currently studying nursing. My parents own their own sushi restaurant so I can confidently say sushi is my favorite food (and I know good sushi). Other than Setons, I am also involved in the Gonzaga Student Nurses Association here on campus as well as when I’m at home from school, I work at my local gym’s kid’s club because I love working with kids! Although nursing is pretty rigorous academically, in my spare time I live with 3 other roommates and we love to cook, watch movies, go on walks, and shop!  I chose the Seton pillar of sisterhood. This pillar is truly what drew me to Setons in the first place. As a 2nd semester freshman girl, I felt like I had met a lot of people but didn’t truly connect with any to call them a close friend. However, once I joined Setons, I got to truly and deeply connect with ...

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!
