What is Journal Club?
Journal Club is meant to be informal, enjoyable, and intellectually stimulating. It’s a place for anyone in the Gonzaga community to explore ideas and research that interests them. It’s a community of students, faculty, and staff who gather together to say, “This is what I’m reading, this is what I’m interested in, and this is what I’m thinking.”
