ABOUT GONZAGA Founded in 1887, Gonzaga is a Jesuit, Catholic, humanistic university. While basketball consistently draws headlines, so do our nationally-acclaimed academic programs, our commitment to serving others, and our vibrant community-building approach to college life. The University’s new John J. Hemmingson Center is the heart of our community. It has become a gathering place on campus, offering collaborative academic activities, comfortable seating for visiting, and meeting space for the campus community. It serves as our primary dining facility on campus, offering a variety of meal choices from all over the world. The Bulldog family-style restaurant is open to the public. The Rudolf Fitness Center provides students and employees cardio and weights options, an indoor pool and running track, racquetball courts and dance studios, and three basketball courts. For students and visitors alike, the Jundt Art Center and Museum provides rotating exhibits of fine art; the Bing Crosby house is home to an exhibit of 200 artifacts from Gonzaga’s collection of more than 20,000 Crosby keepsakes; Magnuson Theatre is the site of many drama and dance performances throughout the year; and the McCarthey Athletic Center is the rockin’ home to the Gonzaga Bulldog basketball teams. In all, 200,000 people attend events on campus each year.
