Honors

The Honors Living Learning Community (LLC) offers an intimate and intellectually stimulating residential experience for students in the Gonzaga Honors Program. In partnership with Gonzaga's Honors Program, this community is designed to foster intellectual curiosity, personal growth, and a commitment to lives of meaning, service, and leadership.

As an extension of the Honors Program, the Honors LLC provides residents with opportunities to engage deeply with their enhanced liberal arts curriculum beyond the classroom. Students are encouraged to make connections across disciplines, courses, and cohorts, cultivating the intellectual virtues and skills necessary to thrive in a complex and evolving world.

Through immersive educational experiences, thought-provoking discussions, and community events, residents take responsibility for their personal development, academic achievement, and professional aspirations. This living environment supports collaboration, innovation, and the pursuit of knowledge, empowering students to define and achieve success on their own terms.
