This semester, the Gonzaga Sport Consulting Group did something it has never done before: it delivered live consulting work to five real clients, sent fourteen students to Portland and Seattle for field experiences with world-class organizations, presented its outcomes to university leadership for the first time, and closed the spring with a graduating class of seniors who leave behind something they helped build.
What follows is a record of that semester, built for the clients, advisors, donors, and families who made it possible.
Spring 2026 at a Glance
"Lean into the hard things. When I feel uncomfortable or in the unknown, that is where I have grown the most. And lean into communities. They are here to help."
