Gonzaga University is stepping boldly into the future with a new partnership with EAB, a Washington, D.C.-based research and advisory firm that works with colleges and universities across the country to address complex strategic, academic and operational challenges.

“EAB is a trusted leader in higher education work, and this partnership will help us navigate a rapidly changing landscape while staying true to our Jesuit, Catholic and humanistic Mission,” said Gonzaga President Katia Passerini.

This partnership will allow us to imagine new possibilities by tapping into EAB’s expertise and insights from their work with thousands of colleges and universities around the world, and bring fresh perspective and momentum to initiatives that matter most: academic excellence, student success, and the values that define Gonzaga.

Higher education is evolving dramatically, and Gonzaga is committed to leading with hope and purpose. EAB will help the University explore innovative ways to strengthen the Zag community now and ensure sustainability for generations to come. One key focus will be how best to strategically invest time and resources in teaching, research, and supporting students.

Gonzaga has previously engaged with EAB through a best-practice forum focused on advancement. Now accessing EAB’s broader Strategic Advisory Services will provide fresh focus and insights on areas ranging from enrollment to IT, marketing to data analytics.

Faculty and staff will be essential parts of the Gonzaga-EAB partnership, and will have access to EAB’s research library, toolkits and webinars – all built to help the University deliver the best educational experience possible for students. Gonzaga employees can visit www.eab.com to create an account using a Gonzaga email address to sign up for EAB’s Daily Briefing for insights that will inform and inspire.
