Katia Passerini, Ph.D.

Every day, I am inspired by the talent, compassion, and sense of purpose that define the Gonzaga community. Rooted in our Jesuit, Catholic tradition, we invite students into journey of becoming more, one that challenges them to seek knowledge, cultivate wisdom, deepen their faith, and discover how they can be people for and with others.

At Gonzaga, we prepare graduates to lead with integrity, embrace our complex world, and respond thoughtfully to the needs of society. Through rigorous learning and a commitment to the common good, Gonzaga empowers students to become people of conscience, compassion, and service. I invite you to learn more about our community and the mission that unites us as we educate and inspire leaders who will help build a more just, hopeful, and humane world.
