A.M. Corner Practice Facility

Mark Albin and Ty McGee of A.M. Landshaper saw a need at Gonzaga and met it. Shortly after finishing the field construction of the Gonzaga Soccer Field in the summer of 2008, Albin and McGee decided to turn their time and talent toward creating a golf practice facility for the men’s and women’s golf teams complete with a target green, putting green and sand bunker. “We can’t thank Mark Albin and Ty McGee enough for their excellent craftsmanship and their generosity to the Gonzaga golf programs,” said head men’s golf coach Robert Gray. The new facility, which is adjacent to the Gonzaga soccer practice field, is an enormous help to the golf programs as they did not have their own on-campus facility in the past and normally travel to various local course for practice. “Team members now have the freedom to work on their short games whenever they want without ever having to leave campus,” Gray said. “This is so important since the short game is what seperates a lot of players.”

Head Coach Robert Gray 11th Year at Gonzaga; Washington State University, 1993 Robert Gray enters his 11th season at Gonzaga University, his third year as the men’s only coach after serving in both capacities as the men’s and women’s coach for eight years. Under Gray’s tutelage, and with just one program to focus his attention, the program is on the upswing. The Bulldogs had their inaugural All-West Coast Conference selections in 2009 in Derek Cheney and Kyle Huus. The Bulldog duo tied for fifth at 214, the lowest 54-hole WCC Tournament score in Bulldog history. Gonzaga’s 54-hole score of 873 was also the team’s best in WCC Tournament play. Gray also recruited the 2007 WCC Freshman of the Year in Brandon Crick, the first Bulldog to receive that honor. And while the Bulldogs are getting it done on the course, they are also achieving in the classroom. Gonzaga has had three Golf Coaches Association of America All-American Scholars in Matt Monroe in 2005, Trevor Loe in 2007 and Cheney in 2009. Gonzaga received an All-Academic Team award from the Golf Coaches Association of America for having a team GPA of 3.0 or higher for the 2008-09 academic year, the first year of the award. The Bulldogs were one of just 45 teams to receive the national recognition. The 2003 West Coast Conference Men’s Golf Coach of the Year, Gray has

been active on the local golf scene for more than 15 years, with 12 years of professional experience. A member of the Washington State University golf team for the 1992-93 season, Gray graduated from WSU in 1993 with a bachelor of science degree in landscape architecture. In November of 1993, Gray joined the professional golfing ranks and achieved membership in the PGA of America on Jan. 1, 1997. Gray became a full time staff member in the summer of 2002 after working several years as an assistant golf professional at Hangman Valley Golf Course in Spokane. The 37-year-old coach and wife, Joani have two children. Titles Won Under Coach Gray Team Tournament Titles 2003 Inland Collegiate Challenge Lewiston CC - Lewiston, ID 2005 Ft.

Veteran Squad Looks To Carry Bulldogs In 2009-10

Bolstered by the return of four of the five players who competed in last year’s West Coast Conference Championship, 11th-year head coach Robert Gray brings unbridled optimism into the 2010 season. Two of those returnees had record-breaking WCC Tournaments for the Bulldogs in 2009, senior Derek Cheney and junior Kyle Huus finishing tied for fifth while posting the Bulldogs’ best WCC Championship score ever at 214. The duo also earned the inaugural All-WCC honors in Gonzaga history. “Derek and Kyle had positive summer results and both are eager to continue where they left off,” Gray said. “Derek has been elected team captain and his leadership will be instrumental in the team’s camaraderie. He’ll also help the younger players learn the ropes of Division I collegiate golf as they will be getting plenty of playing time.” Huus advanced to the quarterfinals of the Nebraska Match Play Championship last summer and Cheney tied for 27th at the Washington State Golf Association Men’s Amateur Championship. Three other veterans return in senior Jason Azzarito, junior Francis Santiago and sophomore Oliver Grabb. Azzarito, who transferred to Gonzaga last season, tied for 24th at the WCC Championship and Santiago tied for 34th. “Jason and Francis return with more confidence and experience and should prove to be important factors for the success of our team,” Gray said. Grabb, who only played in two tournaments a year ago as a freshman, participated in the Colorado Golf Association Match Play Championship and finished in a three-way tie for 30th at 295 at the Colorado Golf Association State Amateur Stroke Play Championship last summer.

“Grabb has made great strides in his game during the summer with respectable finishes in a number of events back home,” Gray said. A pair of highly-touted freshman will also vie for spots. Freshmen Travis Johnsen and Kevin Parkhurst join the Bulldogs after outstanding high school and junior golf careers. Johnsen placed in the Top 10 of the Oregon State Class 5A Championship three straight years, including a third-place finish as a senior. He finished in a three-way tie for fifth at the 57th Oregon Stroke Play Championship last summer. Parkhurst made his fourth straight Arizona State 4A Division I championship appearance as a senior and is one of the most decorated junior players in the state with 43 victories on various junior tours. “They will have an immediate impact on the team,” Gray said. “Both have had solid summers.” Gray is also excited about a new facility on the Gonzaga campus. A.M. Corner is the Bulldogs new outdoor short-game practice area. “With A.M. Corner fully matured we will have the ability to really improve our short game with the multitude of shots it provides. Our schedule always demands a strong short game and A.M. Corner will be instrumental in preparing us for those events,” Gray said. Overall, Gray is excited about the prospects for 2010. “I’m really excited with the potential this team has. I think we can do some real positive things this year. Finishing the way we did at the WCC Championship last year and with the successes the players have had this summer, I can’t wait to get the team into competition and get at it.”

Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center Josh Burrows had a vision and Gonzaga University had a need. The two culminated into what you see before you today, the Josh Burrows Performance Athletic Center. His vision was to provide Gonzaga University and its studentathletes the winning edge in sports science, emphasizing state-of-the-art sports training methods. That vision has now become a reality. A 1979 graduate of Gonzaga University and longtime Spokane resident, Josh has always been interested in dynamic sports training. He has spent countless hours researching and identifying improved means of increasing athletic performance, some of it through his own athletic training. With the dedication of the Josh Burrows Performance Center, “JB”, as he is affectionately known by the student-athletes, will be remembered as the “father of fitness” within the Bulldogs Athletics Family, as student-athletes for years to come will reap the rewards of his vision.

Gonzaga Academic Success Gonzaga coaches take an active role in monitoring the academic standing of their athletes. Coaches require student-athletes to attend study table when on the road for an extended period, and several coaches have also adopted a study table policy at home. If a student-athlete is struggling academically, there are several avenues of help available. Tutors are available specifically for student-athletes, and studentathletes can also utilize the general Gonzaga University tutors, study labs and computer work stations available to the entire student population. The success of the attention paid to the academic welfare of the student-athletes is reflected in their performance in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, 85 student-athletes earned their way on to the President’s List with a grade point average of 3.7 or higher, and 80 were on the Dean’s List with a GPA of 3.5-3.69. Overall, Gonzaga’s 300-plus student-athletes combined for a 3.22 GPA for the spring semester, maintaining their cumulative GPA of 3.21. Gonzaga student-athletes constantly dot the West Coast Conference all-academic teams, and on a national scale 20 student-athletes have been named to CoSIDA/Verizon Academic All-America squads. The Gonzaga baseball program has produced six Academic All-America accolades, including Eric Rodland and Jared Hertz, both two-time honorees.

West Coast Conference When the West Coast Conference got its start back in 1952, the founders really had one goal in mind - to create a convenient way for five Bay Area schools to play basketball. What has grown from that original vision 54 years ago is a marvelous cohesive athletics league which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports. The eight current members of the WCC span the Western United States. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of Eastern Washington to the sun-drenched beaches of Southern California, the combined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission. The WCC sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s tennis and women’s volleyball. The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (Pacific, Saint Mary’s, San Francisco, San Jose State, and Santa Clara) as the California Basketball Association, playing its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasons of play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the “West Coast Athletic Conference” in 1956. The name was shortened to “West Coast Conference” in 1989. The current full-time lineup of WCC schools has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the country. Gonzaga joined the West Coast Conference for men’s golf during the 1979-80 school year finishing sixth in its first WCC championship appearance. The Bulldogs have never finished higher than sixth at the WCC championships with six sixth-place finishes including a score of 917 to finish sixth in 2004. The Bulldogs posted a school-best tournament score of 903 in 2003. Over the 30 year history of competing in the WCC Gonzaga has had six players earn All-WCC recognition with all six claiming honorable mention honors. Craig Lawrence was the first to do so in 1992 followed by Matt Munroe (2002), Souta Nozaka (2003), Brandon Crick (2007) and Trevor Loe in 2007 and 2008. Since joining the WCC Gonzaga has also had 39 All-Academic selections. As for its overall success, the WCC has annually advanced at least one team to a national championship semifinal since 1989. League members have also won 36 NCAA team and individual championships. 2009 marked the first year that the individual men’s champion of the WCC Championship recieved and automatic bid to NCAA Regionals.

Thayne McCulloh - President Dr. Thayne McCulloh (BA, ’89) became Gonzaga University’s interim president in the summer of 2009, succeeding the eleven-year tenure of Jesuit President Father Robert J. Spitzer. McCulloh, with 19 years as a Gonzaga administrator, knows that it is his job – ‘interim’ title notwithstanding – to collaborate with other Gonzaga stakeholders and continue to build upon Fr. Spitzer’s remarkable legacy. In fall 2009, Gonzaga enrolled its largest freshman class ever, more than 1,200 students, bringing the university overall enrollment to more than 7,500. While continued success in all ways is important to McCulloh, sustaining and reinforcing the mission of Gonzaga as a Jesuit, Catholic and humanistic institution is fundamental to him. “We, as a community, are going to be led first and foremost by our University Mission, which unites us and allows us to remain focused and faithful to the charge that has been given to all of us,” McCulloh said. “Our fundamental mission is to educate men and women in an environment that is both academically rigorous and distinctively Jesuit, Catholic, and humanistic.” McCulloh knows that environment well. He spent three years here as an undergraduate, earning his bachelor’s degree in psychology, before moving on to Oxford University to earn a doctorate in experimental social psychology. He returned to Gonzaga in 1990 and has held numerous positions – and worked on many projects – over the past 19 years. These include service as interim academic vice president, vice president for administration and planning, associate academic vice president, and dean of student financial services, among others. Gonzaga is ingrained in him. “Gonzaga is our life in a lot of ways,” said McCulloh,

who with wife Julie (BA ’92, MBA ’97, Gonzaga’s dean of admission), has three daughters. “The way we choose to work and live is with an understanding that it’s not merely ‘a job.’ We feel we are participating in something really important. It’s great to be a part of it, and it’s why we feel at home at Gonzaga. It’s hard to draw a sharp distinction between our private life and our life at Gonzaga, as there is an awful lot that we share, as a family, in common with others who work here. “I came to Gonzaga to get a college education, and what brought me back as an employee was the awareness that this place is about transforming women and men who have unique gifts and talents, and come from all different experiences. Here we ask students to focus on important life questions, and we challenge them to think about what they want to do with their lives that will be of benefit to their fellow human beings. That’s a powerful and important endeavor in a world so desperately in need of it,” McCulloh said. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Washington, D.C. and Seattle, McCulloh attended Seattle’s Bishop Blanchet High School. Following high school, he completed a threeyear enlistment as a food service sergeant in the U.S. Army. He arrived at Gonzaga in its centennial year (1986), served as a resident assistant and resident director, was president of Alpha Sigma Nu (the Jesuit honor society), and was elected student body president. He, Julie, and their three daughters are big fans of Gonzaga sports and attend home games when their schedules permit. McCulloh will serve as interim president pending the selection of a permanent Jesuit president by the Board of Trustees.

Mission Statement of Gonzaga University Gonzaga University belongs to a long and distinguished tradition of humanistic, Catholic, and Jesuit education. We are committed to preserving and developing that tradition and communicating it to our students and alumni. As humanistic, we recognize the essential role of human creativity, intelligence, and initiative in the construction of society and culture. As Catholic, we affirm the heritage which has developed through two thousand years of Christian living, theological reflection, and authentic interpretation. As Jesuit, we are inspired by the vision of Christ at work in the world, transforming it by His love, and calling men and women to work with Him in loving service of the human community. All these elements of our tradition come together within the sphere of free intellectual inquiry characteristic of a university. At Gonzaga, this inquiry is primarily focused on Western culture, within which our tradition has developed. We also believe that a knowledge of traditions and cultures different from our own draws us closer to the human family of which we are a part and makes us more aware of both the possibilities and limitations of our own heritage. Therefore, in addition to our primary emphasis on Western culture, we seek to provide for our students some opportunity to become familiar with a variety of human cultures. In the light of our own tradition and the variety of human societies, we seek to understand the world we live in. It is a world of great technological progress, scientific complexity and competing ideologies. It offers great possibilities for cooperation and interdependence, but at the same time presents us with the fact of widespread poverty, hunger, injustice, and the prospect of degeneration and destruction. We seek to provide for our students some understanding of contemporary civilization; and we invite them to reflect with us on the problems and possibilities of a scientific age, the ideological differences that separate the peoples of the world, and the rights and responsibilities that come from commitment to a free society. In this way we hope to prepare our students for an enlightened dedication to the Christian ideals of justice and peace.

GONZAGA UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY ORIGIN Gonzaga was founded in 1887 by Father Joseph Cataldo, S.J., as a frontier boarding school for boys. The school has established its own unique identity since starting as a single building along the banks of the Spokane River. Named for the Jesuit Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, the patron of youth, the 122-year-old institution has grown and matured into one of the West’s premier regional universites. Gonzaga’s educational philosophy is based on the 469-year-old Ignatian model that aims to educate the whole person-mind, body and spirit - and integration of science and art, faither and reason, action and contemplation. The state Legislature accorded Gonzaga status as a University in 1912, the same year the School of Law began. The 1920’s were highlighted by the established of the School of Business Administration (1921) and the School of Education (1928). The Graduate School was launched in 1931 and the School of Engineering was created in 1934 to meet the demand sparked by the new national interest to hydroelectric projects. Enrollment swelled in the late 1940’s due largely to the G.I. Bill and women were first admitted in 1948. Situated on 94 acres of lanscaped campus located in a residenGonzaga University tial section of Spokane, the Gonzaga campus continues to grow and chage with the times.

THAT START OF JESUIT EDUCATION School of Business Administration Founded in 1540 by Basque nobleman Ignatius of Loyola, the School of Engineering Society of Jesus is an order of Catholic priests and brothers, who with School of Professional Studies their lay colleagues, carry on a 469-year tradition of eduction excelGraduate School lence. Law School While recovering from a battle wound, Ignatius’ life was changed by reading the Bible and studying the lives of the saints. His religious experiences led him to renounce the life of courtier and soldier to serve God. That inspired him to write the Spiritual Exercises, a work that would become the basis of Jesuit spirituality and mission. After studying at the University of Paris for seven years, he founded a school based on his scholarship. At the time of Ignatius’ death in 1556, Jesuits ran 33 colleges and universities worldwide. Georgetown University, founded in 1789, became the first American Jesuit university. There are now 112 Jesuit colleges and universities in the world, including 33 in the United States. Gonzaga University is named for Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, a 16th century priest. In his effort to comfort the ill in Rome during the plague, he caught the scourge and died a young man. He is named the Patron Saint of Youth.
