More than 415 Gonzaga University alumni returned to campus to reminisce, share memories and rekindle Zag friendships during Alumni Reunion Weekend Oct. 11-13.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Laurie Arnold, Ph.D., associate professor and director of Native American Studies at Gonzaga, has been named an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) Fellow for 2019 and is serving as an invited Yale University research fellow.
