Join the Family Fun!

Mark Beattie, alumnus and current GU parent, radiates Zag pride. Seeing the Gonzaga connection come full circle with his family, Mark loves that he gets to witness his son experience a full transformational education as a current senior at GU. His all-around connections give him more than one reason to support the mission and vision of Gonzaga University, “Alumni, student, parent, community member… that’s enough for me to want to give back!”

Mark loves everything about Gonzaga, from the personal approach of the professors and challenge of a Jesuit education, to the alumni connections and events that take place after graduation. He earned his Masters in Business Administration (’03) and Doctorate in Leadership Studies (’09) from GU after getting an undergraduate degree in Hospitality Business Management. Now, as the Director of Distributive Learning in the School of Professional Studies at Gonzaga University, Beattie remains heavily involved around campus with everything from teaching to participating in the Parent and Family Campaign as a current donor.

We encourage you to join Mark in supporting the Parent and Family Campaign, and help ensure all Gonzaga students receive a true Zag experience. The Parent and Family Campaign aims to have at least half of all current parents and families take part in giving back. Current fundraising priorities are the Fund For Gonzaga – which directly meets Gonzaga’s critical needs by focusing on three core pillars: scholarships faculty and student experience, and the General Scholarship Fund.
