Master's students from the School of Leadership Studies are kicking off our summer of on-campus immersions with the combined Imagine, Create, Lead and Content Creation Strategy courses.

We hope everyone has an amazing time!

We are proud to host leadership retreats for the City of Spokane Public Works team! Dick Mandeville, PhD and Rachelle Strawther, Ed.D provide customized learning experiences to continually help the team move forward and accomplish strategic initiatives.

An update for our Ph.D. in Leadership Studies students: Doctoral Dialogues will resume on September 25 from 9 am - 11 am. We hope you all enjoy the summer and we look forward to resuming our conversations in the fall.

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began after the Civil War to honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. Today, we continue that tradition by remembering the fallen, honoring their sacrifice and reflecting on the cost of freedom. As we commemorate Memorial Day on May 25, Gonzaga gives thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Please note there will be no summer classes or University work on Monday.
