Leadership Statements on Inclusion

At Gonzaga, we believe in the importance of speaking up when we see injustice and sharing our beliefs about how humans should treat each other. We use these communications not only to articulate where we stand, but also to hold ourselves accountable and measure our progress in creating a more equitable, inclusive world.
