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.

Alana Saeltzer: Sisterhood

    Hello! My name is Alana Saeltzer! I am from Sacramento, California and I am a second-year Nursing major here at Gonzaga. I absolutely love children, so I hope that following graduation I can work as a Registered Nurse in the NICU or the Pediatric ICU! As a Nursing major, I spend a lot of time studying. When I am not in the library, I spend a lot of time exploring local coffee shops (if you haven’t been to Atticus yet, you should go!), thrifting, and listening to music! A fun fact about me is that I went to the same high school as Greta Gerwig, so I like to brag that the movie Lady Bird is basically about me.
    My absolute favorite part of being a Seton is having the chance to engage in sisterhood! Sisterhood is what initially drew me to this club and it is such a big reason I rave about Setons to others. I attended an all-girls high school, where I first learned the value and impact of sisterhood. I grew to love being surrounded by strong women who encourage and uplift each other! I have now found sisterhood in Setons to be a backbone of my day-to-day life. I appreciate especially how Setons brings girls together who might not have normally met or spent time together otherwise. Last semester, I was placed in a weekly service group with girls who I didn’t know beforehand. By the end of the semester, we all became really close friends and I still find myself leaning on them for support or encouragement. Setons is basically having 29 built-in friends and cheerleaders who are always there for you!
