As we head into graduation weekend, we reflect on the students that have been transformed during their time at Gonzaga and give thanks to all of those who played a part in getting them there. Shari Rasmussen is one who touches several lives every day. Working as Associate Registrar for GU, she has become a key-player in helping students at Gonzaga, aside from a typical registrar’s duties.
Shari received her Masters of Arts in Organizational Leadership from Gonzaga University in August of 2009. From her time at Gonzaga, Shari has seized a greater sense of the ethics, service to others and humanistic traditions that the institution fosters. “Gonzaga has long been known for its ‘family feel,’ and I’ve always sensed that atmosphere from the time I began working at GU over 30 plus years ago,” Shari explains. “Although the institution has grown since that time, the attention to and investment in our students has not changed.”
Shari’s hope is that students leave the University with knowledge, experiences and traditions that allow them to lead positive and productive lives so that they can effect change and make the world a better place in which to live.
That’s why Shari Rasmussen gives back to Gonzaga, and now Shari tags you.
