On Sunday, April 22, over 200 Gonzaga seniors filled the COG to enjoy a late-night breakfast put on by the Senior Fund committee and the Alumni Association. The evening event kicked off a busy spirit week for seniors.
Alumni and Development staff served pancakes, tater tots and sausages to a line of seniors as a slide show of pictures flashed on a large screen. A message from Father Hightower set the theme of the evening for seniors to acknowledge the education and transformation they received at Gonzaga and that it is now their turn to pass on these traditions and transformations to the next generation of Zags through their time, talent and treasure. Additionally, the Alumni Association introduced the many ways a recent graduate can stay involved with the Gonzaga community through local chapter membership, mentoring and event attendance.
Over 50 of the seniors in attendance pledged to give back to Gonzaga University.
The Student Philanthropy Committee (SPC), of which the Senior Fund committee is part of, was created to instill a culture of philanthropy among students on campus as they become familiar with all it means to be a ZAG for life! As a culmination of the committee’s effort, a concerted Senior Fund effort is led by the SPC, chaired by seniors, and is the first step in the transition from student to dedicated alumni.
Start your tradition of giving back today! Support the Senior Fund.
