reSume Book

Dear Prospective Employer,

On behalf of Gonzaga Athletics, it is with great pride that I present the fourth annual Senior Student-Athlete Résumé Book. This publication is a showcase of the class of 2015 Zags and the incredibly unique experiences and qualifications compiled during their careers as Gonzaga student-athletes. As our seniors embark upon new journeys in the workforce, graduate or professional school, or even volunteer programs throughout the world, these portfolios make organizations aware that the potential contribution of a Gonzaga student-athlete is extraordinary.

Members of the class of 2015 are no exception to prior student-athlete graduates. These outstanding student-athletes have achieved remarkable accolades during their Gonzaga careers - athletically, academically, and in the community. As with each graduating class, we are not only proud of their accomplishments, but also of what tremendous individuals they have developed into as members of the Zag family. Their drive, compassion, commitment, creativeness, and ambition set them apart from other student-athletes across the nation, thanks in large part to the traditions and community embraced by Gonzaga.

The University’s mission states, “Through engagement with knowledge, wisdom, and questions informed by classical and contemporary perspectives, Gonzaga cultivates in its students the capacities and dispositions for reflective and critical thought, lifelong learning, spiritual growth, ethical discernment, creativity, and innovation.” As such, this publication not only offers a glimpse into the portfolios of our remarkable senior student-athletes, their careers as Zags, and the talents they offer, but also previews their aspirations for sharing their gifts and continuing their passion for success following graduation.

These seniors will be leaving Gonzaga upon this spring’s commencement both with exceptional experiences and as life-long members of the Zag family. With the success they have attained and the relationships they have built at Gonzaga, we have the utmost confidence that they will have a lasting impact on any organization and community they have the opportunity to join.

Thank you for your continued support of Gonzaga University and our student-athletes.

Sincerely,

Mike RothDirector of Athletics

ii Gonzaga Senior Student-Athlete résumé Book

Dear Alumni & Employers,

We are pleased to have this opportunity to share with you the resumes of the Gonzaga University student athletes. These young men and women have excelled in the classroom, in the community and in their individual athletic endeavors and are anxious to bring their skills to the workplace.

These student athletes possess intellect, integrity and tremendous energy and will be a valuable asset to any organization fortunate enough to employ them. They have demonstrated the ability to manage the demands of intercollegiate athletics with a rigorous academic program and many of them have provided volunteer service on campus and in their communities. They have all demonstrated the ability to work as a team and to communicate with a diverse group of individuals and that will serve them well as future professionals working in a global economy. You will find that these individuals are truly committed to helping and serving others in a manner consistent with our Jesuit values.

Why Hire a Zag? You will find that these student athletes are the kind of individuals you want on your team. They are intelligent and thoughtful problem solvers with strong communication skills and a real understanding of how to accomplish organizational goals as part of a team .The Career Center & GAMP provide a variety of services and opportunities for the greater Gonzaga community to access this talented pool of Zags. Join us in the “Hire a Zag!” campaign by becoming a mentor, posting a job or internship, joining us for a Career Fair or participating in a Trek. Visit www.gonzaga.edu/hireazag for more information.

We hope you have the opportunity to hire some of these outstanding individuals and we are confident they have the ability to make significant contributions to your organization.

Our message is simple . . . Hire a Zag!
