Gonzaga University commitment to human diversity

The university believes in the principles of holistic education and strives to provide all community members with opportunities for a variety of experiences from which they can learn and grow. The university recognizes that the quality of education, as well as the growth and development of the human person, is enhanced by awareness of and learning from persons with different experiences, backgrounds and ideas. This approach equips all community members, especially its graduates, to understand and relate to persons from all cultures and backgrounds. The university is committed to promoting awareness and acceptance of human diversity. The university further strives to provide an environment in which all members can reap the educational and experiential benefits of a diverse community whose members reflect a variety of cultures, backgrounds, ideas, religious traditions and values consistent with the university’s traditions and mission statement.
