Welcome to Gonzaga Â鶹¹ÙÍø and New Faculty Orientation

New Faculty Orientation introduces Gonzaga’s mission, culture and expectations while connecting you with the people and resources that support your work. You will explore what it means to serve as a faculty member at a mission-centered institution committed to educating the whole person, fostering academic excellence and advancing the common good.

The orientation offers opportunities to engage with colleagues across disciplines and begin forming meaningful relationships with fellow faculty, staff and campus partners. It also encourages reflection on how your work contributes to Gonzaga’s integrative Jesuit educational experience.

We are grateful you’ve chosen to share your talents with Gonzaga’s students and community. We look forward to supporting your transition and partnering with you to shape the Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s future.
