Welcome to the Family Dear Parents and Families, Parent and Family Relations is thrilled that, along with your student, your family can take part in making new traditions at Gonzaga and enjoy the many aspects of the “Gonzaga Experience.” Through this experience, we hope to provide you with a glimpse of how we help your student develop into the whole person this university seeks to produce.

You are now part of the Gonzaga Family! We look forward to sharing in your student’s college experience. We know that you have prepared your student well, and this will be a time of considerable discovery and growth. We believe that parents and other family members are very important as students take on new experiences. We encourage you to empower your student to deal with many of the challenges they will face at college, rather than solving problems for them. A goal that many families have is to provide support without actually making decisions for their student. After all, we hope the university experience will help your student become independent and confident in their abilities to face the world. We recognize, though, that it is not always easy to find that balance, so we suggest taking time to really talk with your student throughout the entire year. We will be here to help along the way.

We are available to answer any of your questions; if we don’t know the answer, we will find it for you! Through the Parent and Family eNewsletter and the Parent and Family website www.gonzaga.edu/ parents, we provide you with guidance, resources and helpful information. Our Parent and Family Guide and Calendar are great references, as well. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Congratulations and welcome!
