Fr. Spitzer's Legacy of Leadership Continues
By PETER TORMEY
Gonzaga President Father Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., was delighted to hear that Bill Gates Sr., co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will speak to Gonzaga’s Comprehensive Leadership Program students on Wednesday (Oct. 15). Fr. Spitzer was pleased for good reason. After all, this leadership program resulted from Fr. Spitzer’s vision and was hatched following a University Charrette in 2002.
