The Crosby Student Center is a one-stop shop for all Zags. According to Gonzaga's website, the Crosby Student Center offers students, faculty, and staff a
central location to “work, study, hang out, and hold meetings.” The Crosby Center also offers a coffee shop,
a US Bank branch, and sells helium balloons, t-shirts, poster enlargements, and
activity and bus passes. It is also home
to the campus information desk, which is where students bring lost and found
items.
This week, the information desk is holding its well-known
annual fundraiser, the Crosby Cafe Garage Sale.
The items sold are the objects collected in the lost and found
throughout the year. You can find anything
from vases and clothing to used water bottles and Easter baskets. One member of our team was able to snatch up
a lovely sport jacket for his personal use.

The Crosby Student Center is named for the famous singer and
actor, Bing Crosby, who enrolled at Gonzaga University in 1920 with the intention
of studying law (GU website). While
attending school, he learned to play the drums and joined a band called the
“Musicaladers.”
The band was so
successful that Bing dropped out of school in his final year to pursue a career
in show business.
