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.

Lillie Rensmith: Leadership

    Hi, my name is Lillie Rensmith and I am a business administration major with a concentration in operations and supply chain management, I also have a minor in sustainable business as well! I am from Portland, Oregon where I attended an all-girls high school which taught me the transformative power of having a strong female support group while enabling me to lead and push myself out of my comfort zone. Since coming to Gonzaga, Setons has quickly offered me that same support and friendship while pushing me to be my best self. Outside of Setons, I am a Gonzaga Honors student and am a member of Alpha Kappa Psi which is an on-campus professional development fraternity and I work as a lifeguard at the Rudolf Fitness Center as well!
                                       
    In Setons, each girl is inherently a leader because of the close-knit nature of the group and the opportunities this organization brings us through community engagement events like weekly or monthly service. While I do not currently hold a position on the Setons executive board, I have grown so much as a leader during my time in Setons. One way this manifests is my weekly service working with middle and high school children at the Issac Foundation. When working with these kids, it is important for my and my other Seton's sisters to lead by example and exemplify compassion, love and patience. I define leadership as an act of selfless service for your community, and whether that is with one another as a sisterhood, or with our surrounding Spokane community, every Seton is a leader.
