Congratulations to Gonzaga Headmaster, Dr. Tom Every, on earning his Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) from St. Joseph’s University this spring. Dr. Every was honored to deliver the valedictory address for the university’s inaugural DBA graduating class, highlighted in
this article. “We leave Saint Joseph’s not merely as doctors in our respective fields, but as graduates of a Jesuit institution that expects something of us,” he advised his fellow graduates. “And so, may we leave better equipped, intellectually, professionally and spiritually. May we lead with competence and conscience. And may we always remember that the truest measure of our doctoral education will not be the titles that precede our names, but the lives that are strengthened because of how we use them.”
Dr. Every’s dissertation, “
Endowment Management in Independent K-12 Schools: A Quantitative Study of Strategy, Scale, and Performance,” reflects his deep expertise and commitment to the future of independent education.
