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.

Danielle Knutson: Sisterhood

Hey everyone! My name is Danielle Knutson and I am from Spokane, Wa! I am studying Biomedical Engineering with minors in Physics, Robotics, and Computer Science. Things I do outside of Setons include being involved in other clubs on campus like Delight and alas, working at Crumbl (I've worked there for almost three years!), playing in various intramural sports, and spending quality time with friends. I also spend lots of time outdoors, as I love to camp and hike, and I'm a passionate runner! I finished the Spokane Marathon as my first marathon this past October and plan on hopefully running the Paris or New York Marathon next!



Out of each pillar in Setons, Sisterhood sticks out to me the most. When I think of sisterhood, I think of a close-knit group of women that support and uplift one another and feel like family. I can genuinely say that being a part of Setons has blessed me with the experience of true sisterhood and that is why I chose this pillar. Having my sisters in my life, and sharing experiences with them each week, is always so fruitful. Whether we are spending time at service with our yellow cardigans and blue skirts, on lovely sister dates, at weekly meetings, or at various social events, I always feel a sense of love and belonging. For me after becoming a Seton, the pillar of Sisterhood has truly stood for unconditional belonging. It's not just about spending time with an amazing group of girls; it's about the assurance that each of our sisters has support and a loving place here at Gonzaga—where our entire community is uplifted and each sister is valued and cared for like family.
