In 1984, Dr. Birrer wanted to teach at a Catholic university in the Northwest, but was concerned about accepting reduced pay to teach at Gonzaga. Following his interview for the position, Dr. Birrer attended Sunday mass and heard the following passage: "…do not worry about your life… strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." He and his wife heeded those words and moved to Spokane.
During the more than three decades since that time, Dr. Birrer has committed himself to serving accounting students at Gonzaga. "I am pleased to see how much my students have achieved both personally and professionally," Dr. Birrer said. "I have been blessed to have had such great students while teaching at Gonzaga."
