Institutional Position and Advocacy

President Passerini’s leadership in continuing Gonzaga’s history of activism and support, along with Gonzaga University’s membership and participation in a number of higher education organizations – among them the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU), the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, and the American Council on Education (ACE) – has created a very vocal and public record of Gonzaga’s position on immigration reform and support for all members of our community.
