U.S. BANK PARTNERS WITH GONZAGA UNIVERSITY ON ITS MULTI-USE IDENTIFICATION CARD
SPOKANE, Wash. (July 17, 2003)

“We are excited about the partnership between Gonzaga University and U.S. Bank because of the convenience it will provide our students, faculty, and staff,” said Chuck Murphy, vice president of finance for Gonzaga University.
“The Campusbank Card program is an extension of a long-standing relationship between
U.S. Bank and Gonzaga University,” said Bob Wigren, president of U.S. Bank in Spokane/North Central Washington.
