Molly Burns: This week as a Seton!

As our year begins to wind down as Setons, we are busier than ever with selections! Many of our spring breaks were filled with good food, beautiful views, family and friends and of course reading all of the applications from this years Seton applicants. Immediately returning from break we have already begun the selections process with an incredibly inspiring and dedicated group of 89 freshman girls! With interviews well underway and exciting events coming up this weekend and next we are so excited to get to know the class better. With all of these new changes comes a sense of nostalgia and a lot of reflection on this year overall. Being a Seton has been such a positive experience. Through weekly service and getting to know my mentee Chad as well as the other mentees in my group, it has been incredibly inspiring. I walk though the doors of Artisans and am always greeted with a huge smile from Chad as well as his excitement in showing me some new gadget he acquired over the past we

Throughout our year of being part of the Setons of Gonzaga we have, as a group, further developed our passion and dedication for sisterhood, leadership and service. We have grown together through many laughs, dance parties with Artisans, cookie eating, and breaking tubing records to form bonds and friendships that are going to last us the rest of our lives.

We look forward to the individuality, new perspective, and passion for our three pillars that each prospective girl offers, taking each of these into consideration when meeti

Annalise Ellefsen: On Leadership!

They told me that being Seton President would be like having another class, and it is, except for it’s the best class ever and has been more beneficial than any of my real classes. I’ve held leadership roles before, but nothing like this. For the most part, Setons in entirely student run. While we have an amazing advisor who is really easy to work with, she steps back and allows us to take charge and lead the way we want to. I have the opportunity to meet with my executive board every Sunday to make sure everyone is on the same page, as well as facilitate weekly meetings with everyone. I’ve realized how many pieces of a puzzle there are to put on event, and how many people need to be involved and communicated to. Being the Seton President I have gained more self-esteem and confidence in my leadership abilities, as well as pride within the Gonzaga community. I am honored to be a Seton, and feel so incredibly lucky that I can be the face of such an amazing organization. Leadership i
