Student Involvement + Leadership

Student Involvement and Leadership (SIL) is home to the Center for Student Involvement (110+ clubs, student governments and SpikeNites), Payne Center for Leadership Development, Student Media, Gonzaga Outdoors, and the Transfer, Veteran and Returning Adult Office. A student-centered, student driven department dedicated to empowering Gonzaga University students to create and partake in experiences which foster learning and development, preparing students to be leaders in their communities and engaged citizens of the world. We cultivate programs through which students develop their whole person - intellectually, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Our team of 14 professional staff and over 100 student staff, help to make Gonzaga the spirited community it is most known for.


The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away. ―Pablo Picasso
