SPOKANE, Wash. – Following a flurry of milestones underscoring unprecedented momentum in Gonzaga University’s 129-year history, President Thayne McCulloh today announced the University has raised $226 million toward its $250 million goal for the ongoing “Gonzaga Will: The Campaign for Our Future” and its priorities.
“This is Gonzaga Will in action,” President McCulloh said. “October 15 marks the one-year anniversary of the launch of this campaign, and I am pleased to share that we are reaching milestones we have anticipated for years.”
Gonzaga Trustees and Regents gathered with community leaders and the campus community the last week of September to celebrate a groundbreaking for the Volkar Center for Athletic Achievement, a blessing to mark the start of construction for the new Jesuit Residence, a ceremony to celebrate the new lights at Luger Soccer Field, and an open house recognizing the landmark University of Washington School of Medicine-Gonzaga University Regional Health Partnership.
President McCulloh reiterated his thanks to the more than 32,000 campaign contributors.
