Graduate Catalog 2020-2021 Mission Statement Graduate Catalog 2020-2021 Mission Statement Gonzaga University is an exemplary learning community that educates students for lives of leadership and service for the common good. In keeping with its Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic heritage and identity, Gonzaga models and expects excellence in academic and professional pursuits and intentionally develops the whole person -- intellectually, spiritually, culturally, physically, and emotionally. 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. The Gonzaga experience fosters a mature commitment to dignity of the human person, social justice, diversity, intercultural competence, global engagement, solidarity with the poor and vulnerable, and care for the planet. Grateful to God, the Gonzaga community carries out this mission with responsible stewardship of our physical, financial, and human resources. Introduction What’s in a Name? The University is named after the sixteenth-century Italian Jesuit saint, Aloysius Gonzaga. A descendant of a noble Renaissance family and a page at the court of Francesco de Medici, Aloysius Gonzaga entered the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit order) in 1585. Later, while a seminarian in plague-stricken Rome, he attended to the sick and dying; as a result of his heroic service, he died of exhaustion on June 21, 1591, only twenty-three years old. He was declared the patron saint of youth in 1726. Quality That Earns National Recognition U.S. News and World Report’s most recent America’s Best Colleges ranked Gonzaga in the top 20% — 79th (tied) among National Universities. Fiske Guide to Colleges, Kiplinger's Best Colleges and The Princeton Review have also consistently praised the academic strength and quality of education provided at Gonzaga University. Spokane and the Inland Northwest Spokane, Washington and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, form a flourishing metropolitan area with a population of approximately 722,000. This area offers many opportunities for work, service and relaxation for Gonzaga students. Gonzaga's campus overlooks the Spokane River, where the Washington Centennial Trail extends 39 miles between northwest Spokane and Coeur d’Alene. Students enjoy biking, rollerblading, running and walking along the trail. Downtown Spokane is just a few blocks’ walk from the campus, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment. The nearby 12,000-seat Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, a multipurpose entertainment venue, hosts concerts, sporting events, and special programs such as Gonzaga’s undergraduate commencement ceremonies. Spokane boasts many parks, including the 100-acre Riverfront Park in the heart of the city. In addition, there are 21 public golf courses within an hour’s drive, ice- and roller-skating rinks, theaters, and art galleries. A symphony orchestra, civic theatre and professional athletic teams add to the cultural and entertainment opportunities of the urban core. Nearby recreational areas are easily accessible to students. Seventy-six lakes and five ski areas provide swimming, water skiing and winter sports activities. Spokane has consistently been lauded for its quality of life. Students: The Center of the University Total enrollment each semester at Gonzaga is over 7,500 of which almost 70 percent are undergraduates and around 30 percent are in graduate programs, including the School of Law and four doctoral programs. Our student body are from nearly every state and over forty countries. Three quarters of undergraduates are ranked in the top quarter of their graduating class. Approximately 25 percent hold formal student leadership positions in Gonzaga student government, residence halls, clubs and organizations. More than half of the undergraduate student body comes from homes at least 200 hundred miles from Spokane. The result is a diverse, welcoming campus community, where cultures and friendships are shared warmly. The academic curriculum is supported by over 800 faculty. The ratio of students to faculty is 11-to-1. Finance: An Important Part of Your Education As you begin your academic career, it is important to remember that although tuition at independent or private universities is typically higher than at public universities, the ultimate value of a degree from Gonzaga University is well recognized by members of business and industry. Gonzaga is committed to assisting students in financing their college education. Over 95% of our students receive financial aid. The Financial Aid Office welcomes your inquiries and is prepared to provide assistance in the 2 development of your financial aid award, assuring you the best package possible. The Campus: Your Home Away from Home Gonzaga’s campus has grown from one building which housed both students and Jesuit faculty in its early years to 105 buildings spread over 152 landscaped acres. The University site is along the north bank of the Spokane River and includes its own small lake and an attractive, well-kept campus. Some highlights of the campus include the following: The Department of Housing and Residence Life provides living options for around 3,000 undergraduate students, including men’s, women’s or coeducational residence halls with capacities ranging from 40 to 620. Residence halls are staffed by Professional, Graduate and Assistant Residence Directors, Resident Assistants, Resident Ministers, and Social Justice Peer Educators who collectively provide a large range of services as live in staff members. Full-time unmarried first and second year students who are under age 21, not living at home, must live in on-campus residence facilities. Upper- division students have access on a first come/first served basis to some apartment-style living units, and the University owns three apartment complexes and up to 12 houses in the neighborhood depending upon the year. At this point in time the university does not provide married or family housing in any on or off campus property, yet is happy to assist students in locating such. John J. Hemmingson Center is over 167,000 square feet of contemporary space that supports a fun, healthy living and engaged community. It is a living and learning environment where students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the larger community can interact with one another. Dining options include the COG with two floors of diverse resident dining with six restaurant-style platforms, Starbucks, Wolfgang Puck, the Marketplace convenience store and The Bulldog, a full-service restaurant. A state-of-the- art rooftop hydroponic greenhouse grows organic produce that is served in resident dining. Additionally, the Hemmingson Center offers U.S. Bank, Next Gen Tech Bar, a grand ballroom, auditorium, meetings room and spaces for events, a reflection room, pop-up retail alcove, outdoor fire pit, and many places for students to meet and study. 3 Administrative offices within the building include: • Mission & Ministry • Diversity, Inclusion, and Cultural Engagement (DICE) including Unity Multicultural Education Center (UMEC) and Lincoln LGBTQ+ Resource Center • Center for Community Engagement (CCE) • Student Involvement and Leadership including Payne Center for Leadership Development (PCLD), Center for Student Involvement (140+clubs and student governments), Gonzaga Outdoors (including bike and ski repair shop), Gonzaga Student Body Association (GSBA), and Transfer, Veteran, and Returning Adult Services (TVRAS) • Center for Global Engagement (CGE) including Study Abroad and International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) • Gonzaga University Event Service Team (GUEST) Gonzaga University Athletic Facilities The Charlotte Y.

Witkowski A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2010 ABSTRACT “JUSTICE WITHOUT PARTIALITY”: WOMEN AND THE LAW IN COLONIAL MARYLAND, 1648-1715 Monica C. Witkowski Marquette University, 2010 What was the legal status of women in early colonial Maryland? This is the central question answered by this dissertation. Women, as exemplified through a series of case studies, understood the law and interacted with the nascent Maryland legal system. Each of the cases in the following chapters is slightly different. Each case examined in this dissertation illustrates how much independent legal agency women in the colony demonstrated. Throughout the seventeenth century, Maryland women appeared before the colony’s Provincial and county courts as witnesses, plaintiffs, defendants, and attorneys in criminal and civil trials. Women further entered their personal cattle marks, claimed land, and sued other colonists. This study asserts that they improved their social standing through these interactions with the courts. By exerting this much legal knowledge, they created an important place for themselves in Maryland society. Historians have begun to question the interpretation that Southern women were restricted to the home as housewives and mothers.

    National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox American Beginnings: The European Presence in North America, 1492-1690 Marguerite Mullaney Nantasket Beach, Massachusetts, May “shift for ourselves in a forlorn place in this wilderness” Surviving the First Year of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630-1631 Memoir of Roger Clap, ca. 1680s, excerpts * Roger Clap [Clapp] arrived in New England in May 1630 at age 21, having overcome his father's opposition to his emigration. In his seventies he began his memoir to tell his children of "God's remarkable providences . in bringing me to this land." A devout man, he interprets the lack of food for his body as part of God's providing food for the soul, in this case the souls of the Puritans as they created their religious haven. thought good, my dear children, to leave with you some account of God’s remarkable providences to me, in bringing me into this land and placing me here among his dear servants and in his house, who I am most unworthy of the least of his mercies. The Scripture requireth us to tell God’s wondrous works to our children, that they may tell them to their children, that God may have glory throughout all ages. Amen. I was born in England, in Sallcom, in Devonshire, in the year of our Lord 1609. My father was a man fearing God, and in good esteem among God’s faithful servants. His outward estate was not great, I think not above £80 per annum.1 We were five brethren (of which I was the youngest) and two sisters.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies
    Early Puritanism in the Southern and Island Colonies BY BABETTE M. LEVY Preface NE of the pleasant by-products of doing research O work is the realization of how generously help has been given when it was needed. The author owes much to many people who proved their interest in this attempt to see America's past a little more clearly. The Institute of Early American History and Culture gave two grants that enabled me to devote a sabbatical leave and a summer to direct searching of colony and church records. Librarians and archivists have been cooperative beyond the call of regular duty. Not a few scholars have read the study in whole or part to give me the benefit of their knowledge and judgment. I must mention among them Professor Josephine W, Bennett of the Hunter College English Department; Miss Madge McLain, formerly of the Hunter College Classics Department; the late Dr. William W. Rockwell, Librarian Emeritus of Union Theological Seminary, whose vast scholarship and his willingness to share it will remain with all who knew him as long as they have memories; Professor Matthew Spinka of the Hartford Theological Sem- inary; and my mother, who did not allow illness to keep her from listening attentively and critically as I read to her chapter after chapter.
