For over half a century, Father Richard "Coz" Coz, S.J., served as the heart of Santa Clara University. He was more than a professor; he was a mentor, a friend, and a constant reminder that everyone has a place at the Mission. Whether he was offering a sharp-witted joke or a quiet word of encouragement, Fr. Coz embodied the Jesuit mission of being a "person for others" in everything he did.
Today, we invite you to Pause for a Coz and help us ensure his spirit of radical hospitality continues to thrive. By supporting the Father Coz Endowed Scholarship Fund during this Day of Giving, you are directly investing in the potential of deserving Broncos who carry his values forward. Your gift does more than provide financial aid—it preserves the story of a man who made SCU feel like family and strengthens the inclusive, supportive community he spent his life building.
Whether you remember him from a classroom, a late-night dorm conversation, or a chance meeting on the path, please join the SCU community in honoring his enduring impact and keeping the Coz legacy alive for generations to come.
