We are delighted that you have joined the Gonzaga community. New Faculty Orientation is an opportunity to learn more about the University's mission, culture, and expectations while connecting with the people and resources that support your work as a faculty member.


Throughout the orientation, you will explore Gonzaga's commitment to educating the whole person, academic excellence, and the common good. You will also have opportunities to connect with colleagues across disciplines, learn about campus resources, and build relationships with faculty, staff, and campus partners.
