About This Event

Ever wondered how a university raises tens of millions of dollars to build new facilities, renovate residence halls, or refinance debt? Join Gonzaga’s CFO, Joe Smith, and Assistant Treasurer, Dana McCullough, for an inside look at the University’s 2026 Bond Offering—a $41 million tax‑exempt public financing that attracted strong investor interest and generated meaningful long‑term savings.

In this interactive session, you’ll learn how bond deals are structured, how markets influence pricing, and the real‑world decision‑making behind major capital projects. It’s a great opportunity for finance and business students, faculty, staff, and anyone curious about how GU thinks about debt financing for capital initiatives.
