Student Life

Welcome

As a Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition that values Cura Personalis, or care for the whole person, it should be no surprise that we offer myriad opportunities for students to learn and grow beyond the classroom. 
Year-in-and-year-out these opportunities contribute to the spirit and energy that Gonzaga is known for, foster the interests and talents of our young men, and fuel what we refer to as Student Life on campus. At Gonzaga, Student Life is defined by:
  • Gonzaga’s dynamic club system, consisting of over 65 active, student-led clubs offered any given academic year;
  • the history-rich Gonzaga Dramatic Association and stage crew, and all performing arts and literary arts productions, including the Aquilian, Aetonian and Phoenix;
  • Gonzaga’s competitive athletic program, consisting of 18 varsity sports, of which seven are offered as no-cut opportunities;
  • and the important work of the Office of Student Services, which promotes integrity and culture on campus and supports our students in all aspects from freshman orientation to graduation.
On Eye Street, we regularly challenge the student body with the following sentiment: ”Say yes to Gonzaga and Gonzaga will reward you.” 

This commitment starts with our students being Open to Growth and possessing the maturity and confidence to put themselves out there. School days for Gonzaga students don’t end at the final bell, rather, the activities that follow complement and enhance the learning and growth that occurs inside the classroom. For many of our students, their high school years are defined by these experiences outside the classroom.

As you continue to explore Gonzaga’s Student Life offerings, or if you have questions about the work of the Office of Student Services, please don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone on the team with questions.

AMDG,
