We hope the weekend festivities are an opportunity for you, as well as your families, friends and all who have supported you, to reconnect, celebrate and reflect on your incredible achievements as graduates of the Gonzaga class of 2020. We can’t wait to honor you!
Class of 2020 Celebration Announcement
Dear Members of the Class of 2020,
Greetings from the campus of Gonzaga University! I hope this message finds you in good health and flourishing.
One of the many painful consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which so suddenly disrupted our work and lives in March of 2020, was our inability to celebrate your class at an in-person Commencement. While it was important to find a way to celebrate your achievements in a “virtual” ceremony, we know it was not the kind of event any of us truly wanted for you and your family. It has always been important to us at Gonzaga to invite you, your classmates, and guests to one day return and have the opportunity to see one another again and celebrate the granting of your degree in person.
It is with pleasure that we formally invite you to return to Spokane for an in-person Celebration of the Class of 2020 the weekend of Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th, 2022. We are planning a number of events for you to enjoy on the weekend, with the University ceremony honoring your class on the Sunday, at 2:00pm, at the Spokane Arena. We hope that you will consider returning and joining with your classmates in allowing Gonzaga University to honor you. In the coming weeks, the Office of Alumni Relations will follow this communication with information about planned events and registration for the weekend. We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely yours,
Thayne M. McCulloh, D.Phil.
President
