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 ...

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! Outside of Setons, I am a part of the Hogan Entrepreneurial Leadership program which has taught me so many communication, collaboration and leadership skills which has helped me in my role in Setons. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, cooking/baking, reading, watching movies, listening to music and attending basketball games. Go Zags!
                                         
    The most amazing part about Setons is all the service that we do. Not only do we have monthly service events together as a club, but also weekly service! This semester my weekly service assignment was at Transitional Living Center, an organization that offers housing to women and their children. Our job was to organize weekly events for the children and their moms to attend. We organized events such as slime making, movie nights, pumpkin painting and arts and crafts! I’ve loved getting to know the kids and seeing their joy when we do activities together. The greatest thing about the service we do is being able to see the immediate impact we make on communities, and being able to directly interact with the women and children really made me realize the true value of service and doing things for others, which has been super fulfilling! I feel so lucky to be a Seton!
