MAG+S AWARDS

Magis is a Latin word that means "more" or "better." It is related to Ad majorem Dei gloriam, a Latin phrase meaning "for the greater glory of God."

Magis refers to the philosophy of doing more, for Christ, and therefore doing more for others. This year marks the 32nd Anniversary of our Student Affairs Awards, the Magis Awards. The Magis Awards presented on this website recognize, embrace, and give thanks to our Gonzaga University students and staff who have lived the magis, done more for others and our Gonzaga community. These university awards are presented to graduating seniors: Jerome Nadal, S.J. Returning Adult Award, The Philomathea and Carl Lindberg Loyalty Awards, the Sue Weitz Spirit of Gonzaga Award, the St. Aloysius Award for Faith & Service, the Gonzaga Award for Solidarity in Action, and the Ignatian Award.
