To deliver a Jesuit education for the 21st century, we must provide 21st century environments. Yet some of our buildings are at capacity or simply do not match the demand to deliver the academic innovation and athletic success we aspire toward. And, we have identified new opportunities that require special spaces. By contributing to this initiative, you will help remove these impediments to learning and help us build an even better Gonzaga.

Surprises from Miss Woldson
Miss Myrtle Woldson’s story starts with this house. From here, she tended one of the most talked-about private gardens in town; stayed abreast of current topics; continued managing her businesses and investments; and treated guests to long, diverse conversations, sometimes over a cheese sandwich.
From her third-story sitting room, she relaxed and watched TV, including Gonzaga basketball games, and looked across her gardens to the spires of St. Aloysius.
This is where the legacy of Miss Woldson’s generosity begins.
