To fall in love with Gonzaga for the first time all over again… the closest thing to that feeling now is knowing that tomorrow’s Zags are experiencing the spark of inspiration that comes from their first contact with the Gonzaga family this weekend at Gonzaga Experience Live (GEL). Students and families considering Gonzaga will have their first taste of what it means to be a Zag, complete with a community of supportive and enthusiastic friends, ready to help them discover all that’s distinctive about Gonzaga’s brand of Jesuit education.
I’ve heard it described as “GEL magic” by current students welcoming prospective Zags like proud older siblings showing off their Alma Mater. And for the new Zags making the decision to commit to Gonzaga, it’s an unrivaled experience that pulls the curtain back on what they’ve heard and read about, or only skimmed the surface of. What they’re seeing right now is the result of Gonzaga’s 135-year legacy of Catholic, Jesuit education and its dedicated community of supporters. Your impact is inspiring them to become Zags, extending the Gonzaga family further year after year.
Of the 9,812 hopefuls that submitted applications to GU, 6,343 have received letters of acceptance, and in addition to the financial aid packages they receive, it will be moments like what happens over GEL weekend that will make the difference for their decisions. Take a second and look at all the fun planned for these prospective students gonzaga.edu/gel.
