Each year on Gonzaga Day, we take time to celebrate what makes our school and our Gonzaga Community so special. And this year, we are celebrating one more thing, we’re celebrating hope. Zag Nation perseveres in tough times, and there is so much to celebrate and to hope for as we move forward.

How we celebrated previous Gonzaga Days

Gonzaga Day 2020

Gonzaga Day 2020 (January 18, 2020) — Our New York Chapter served their community by volunteering at The Bowery Mission.

Since 2012, Gonzaga Day has celebrated what it truly means to be a Zag for life — full of gratitude, pride and a willingness to help those in need.

You know that the “Gonzaga Experience” is something special. It continues well past graduation and doesn’t stop once you’ve attained your academically challenging, faith-driven degree. No matter where you are in life, there will always be opportunities for lifelong learning and ways to support future Zags.

On Gonzaga Day, Zags have participated in:

  • Game-watch events in cities and chapter locations around the world
  • Special and exciting halftime performances and presentations
  • Service opportunities
  • Giving challenges to ensure Gonzaga’s impact continues for current and future Zags
  • And engaged with Zag Nation through social media

CHAPTER GAME WATCHES: 23

SERVICE PROJECTS: 15

BACKPACKS FILLED: 70

2020 marked the 8th Annual Gonzaga Day celebration. Since its inception in the year 2013 (as part of Gonzaga’s 125th year celebration), this event has been a rallying point for thousands of Zags all across the nation and the world.

 

2018 Gonzaga Day
