Gonzaga Honors Portfolio

We know you are more than your scores and GPA – we want to get to know you! Please submit a video or other electronic portfolio that serves as an introduction to what you will bring to the Gonzaga Honors community: your talents, passions, and aspirations for the future. We are looking for evidence of curiosity, creativity, commitment, and resilience. We are excited to see your talent, read your writing, watch your robots, envision your business plan, accompany you in your service, dream with you about your future, or whatever you would like to share.

You will have the option of submitting a link to a video or audio file. If you choose to create a video, please limit it to five minutes. You may also upload a document or slideshow. If you are sharing something you created for a different context (a class assignment, work of art, etc), please explain why you have chosen it as an introduction of yourself to the Honors Program.
