Since 2012, Gonzaga Day has celebrated what it truly means to be a Zag for life — full of gratitude, pride and a willingness to help those in need.
You know that the “Gonzaga Experience” is something special. It continues well past graduation and doesn’t stop once you’ve attained your academically challenging, faith-driven degree. No matter where you are in life, there will always be opportunities for lifelong learning and ways to support future Zags.
On Gonzaga Day, Zags have participated in:
- Game-watch events in cities and chapter locations around the world
- Special and exciting halftime performances and presentations
- Service opportunities
- Giving challenges to ensure Gonzaga’s impact continues for current and future Zags
- And engaged with Zag Nation through social media
