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.

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 sundrenched 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 cross country during the 197980 school year finishing seventh in its first season. The Bulldogs have never won the WCC men’s championship as the University of Portland has won every team championship since the 1979 season. Gonzaga did put together a string of nine consecutive second place finishes from 1987-95 in which the Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA West Regionals in each of those years. The 1994 and 1995 seasons saw GU place second at West Regionals and make two additional NCAA trips. Gonzaga’s top points finish in the WCC came in 1993 when it posted a 41 team score, finishing just 13 points behind Portland. Jon Neill holds the school record for Gonzaga at the WCC Championships, posting a 25:28 mark in the 8K course to finish third in the 1994 event. Gonzaga joined the West Coast Conference for women’s cross country during the 1987-88 school year. Since that season Gonzaga has competed in every WCC championship winning the team title in 1995 and the individual title in 1996. Former Gonzaga runner Cheska Fairbanks set the WCC record for the 5K with a time of 17:26 en route to winning the individual title. Fairbanks would go on to finish 14th in the NCAA Championships in 1996 and earn All-America honors. Since joining the WCC Gonzaga has had 43 first-team All-WCC runners (24 men, 19 women), 35 honorable mention selections (24 men, 11 women) and 51 All-Academic selections (30 men, 21 women). 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 34 NCAA team and individual championships.

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 student-athletes 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. Gonzaga’s WCC Scholar-Athletes of the Year

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.

The 2008-09 academic year was another successful one with a 3.12 fall and a 3.22 spring semester GPA to maintain the cumulative GPA of 3.21. During his nine years at the helm, 973 student-athletes have been named to the President’s List (3.7 GPA or higher), while 816 student-athletes have been named to the Dean’s List (3.5-3.69 GPA). In addition, 181 student-athletes have earned WCC All-Academic recognition.

Roth has overseen the upgrades of multiple facilities during

his tenure. In 2003, Gonzaga added the Kermit Rudolf Fitness Center for Gonzaga students, faculty and staff. The state-of-the-art fitness center includes two levels, housing fitness and strength training zones. In 2004, GU opened the McCarthey Athletic Center, a 6,000 seat basketball arena which is now the home for both the Bulldog men’s and women’s basketball squads. The men’s team continues to play before sellout crowds while the women’s attendance leads the West Coast Conference. In 2005, Gonzaga opened the Harry A. Green Indoor Rowing Facility giving GU one of the most progressive indoor training facilities on the West Coast. The 5,225-square foot facility houses more than fifty rowing machines and three high-definition plasma televisions that are integrated into a computerized rowing program that allows student-athletes to compete with each other as a team. In 2007, Roth and Gonzaga added Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field. The home to Bulldog baseball is an advanced lighted facility that incorporates an old-time baseball feel. The new stadium includes 1,300 theater-style seats and classic brick detailing. Finally, in the summer of 2008, Roth and Gonzaga added the Gonzaga Soccer Field, the Diedrick/DeLong Athletic Training Center and a new Academic Lab. Up next for Roth and Gonzaga is a new indoor tennis and golf facility. The indoor golf and tennis facility will include a golf practice area along with six tennis courts. It will also feature men’s and women’s locker rooms. Roth’s ties to Gonzaga extend far beyond his time as Athletic Director. He was an assistant men’s basketball coach under Jay Hillock in 1982-83, then returned in September, 1986, as a physical education instructor. In January, 1987, he joined the athletic department as assistant athletic director/Martin Centre Director. In that span his responsibilities expanded to include direct administration for 10 of Gonzaga’s 14 sports programs. In 1991 he was designated the university’s compliance officer to the NCAA, overseeing all matters pertaining to student-athletic eligibility at the institutional and NCAA level. Roth was recognized as one of 29 regional recipients of the Under Amour AD of the Year Award (ADOY) presented by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and is a past member of the Board of Directors for the Greater Spokane Sports Association (GSSA), worked the 1990 Goodwill Games as the weightlifting coordinator and was Sports Director for the 1989 Washington State Centennial Games. He chaired the GSSA/ Sportswriters and Broadcasters Sports Awards Banquet, and was banquet co-chair for two years. A native of Moses Lake, Wash., Roth played basketball at Big Bend Community College, and finished his collegiate career at Willamette University where he graduated with a B.S. in sociology in 1979. He received his master’s in athletic administration and physical education from Gonzaga in 1983. His coaching career also included stints as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Big Bend CC and Spokane CC. Roth and his wife Linda have two sons, Brad (1989), a current Gonzaga student, and Matt (1991).

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.
