About Gonzaga Magazine

Twice each year, Gonzaga Magazine delivers features on GU's Mission in action through alumni, faculty, staff, students and partners.

The opinions expressed do not always represent the views of the administration, but are intended to foster open dialogue and lifelong learning in the Jesuit tradition.

  • Interim Chief Marketing and Communications Officer: Kurt Heimbigner
  • Editor-in-Chief: Kate Vanskike (’22 M.A.)
  • Writers: Dan Nailen, Thea Skokan (’22)

Our History

Gonzaga Magazine came to life in its current publication form in 2010, replacing the tabloid Gonzaga Quarterly (2006-2010). Earlier predecessors were Gonzaga newspaper (1999-2006) and “Signum.” Previous editors include Marny Lombard and Dale Goodwin.
