The Energy Awareness Committee is a non-sanctioned committee that was formed in 2001. In the aftermath of the natural gas shortage of the winter of 2000 and subsequent price increase of the cost of natural gas, it became apparent that something more had to be done to help control the rising cost of our utilities. Facilities Management also realized it could not do it without the help of the entire campus. Hence, the concept of a new committee whose main focus would be to not only raise the level of awareness of the problem but to hopefully create a desire in all employees to do their part in the process.

Campus Kitchen uses existing resources on campus to meet hunger and nutritional needs in our surrounding community.  Our program at Creighton University will include food recovery from the dining halls, supplemented by food supplies from the Omaha Food Bank.  Our program will primarily serve low-income, homebound seniors and will collaborate with community partners and alternative food services to strengthen the hunger relief network in the community.
