Gonzaga Parent and Family Office Amy Swank, Director (509) 313‐4154 swank@gonzaga.edu www.gonzaga.edu/parents 2

WELCOME TO CAMPUS! Dear Parents and Families, The Parent and Family Office is thrilled that, along with your student, your family can take part in making new tradi ons 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 shar‐ ing in your student's college experience. We know that you have prepared your student well, and this will be a me 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 parents have is to provide support with‐ out actually making decisions for their son or daughter. A er all, we hope the university experience will help your student become inde‐ pendent and confident in his or her abili es to face the world. We recognize, though, that it is not always easy to find that balance, so we suggest taking me to really talk with your student throughout the en re year. We will be here to help along the way.

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

Congratula ons and Welcome!

SATURDAY SESSION INFO Jesu...what? What it means to be a Jesuit University St. Aloysius Church, 9‐10am They invented the trap door and discovered quinine. They’ve been royal counse‐ lors, astronomers, mathema cians, explorers and army chaplains. They’ve led countless people, from all faith backgrounds, to personal and spiritual fulfillment for 474 years. They’ve worked and prayed in schools, refugee agencies, jus ce ins tutes, parishes, retreat houses and more. Thirty‐five craters on the moon bear their names.

These are the Jesuits. The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is the largest men’s single religious order of priests and brothers in the Catholic Church. Best known as edu‐ cators, the Jesuits currently run more than 1,000 schools across the world, coun ng millions of students, faculty and staff. In the United States alone, there are 28 Jesuit colleges and universi es, including our very own Gonzaga.

One of the earliest Jesuit companions said that the whole life of the Society devel‐ oped from the story of their founder, Igna us Loyola. His experiences, reflec ons, ministry and leadership exemplify the dynamics and characteris cs of the Jesuit vision and prac ce. Words and phrases such as “ad majorem Dei gloriam” (for the greater glory of God), “contempla on in ac on,” “cura personalis” (care for the en re person), “finding God in all things,” “discernment,” and “women and men for others” point toward his spirituality and legacy, which have infused the Jesuit educa onal tradi on. **NOTE: No food or drink permi ed in the Church**
