Campaign Supports Jesuit Mission
For more than 450 years, the Jesuits have played a unique and extraordinary role enlightening the human race. For more than 450 years, they have been leaders in the field of education, combining the latest scholarship with traditional teachings.
For more than 125 years, the Jesuits at Creighton University have not only educated young women and men to be proficient in their chosen fields, but they have shaped individuals to be leaders in their communities and in society. They have emboldened graduates to work and stand for justice. And, by their examples, they have shown how to live lives in service to God and others.
Their influence goes beyond the classroom. They reach out to students — as counselors, as motivators, as role models. They are scholars, engaged with the world and the study of God’s creation, who challenge students to examine their lives more fully. And they remain involved in the lives of Creighton graduates, celebrating with and consoling us during life’s journey.
What are your Jesuit memories? Indeed, the list of Jesuits who have had a positive influence on the lives of Creighton students stretches across various academic disciplines and class years. Each of us, it seems, can claim a Jesuit experience that has touched our hearts, minds or spirits — making a difference in our lives.
These powerful memories, no doubt, have contributed to the success of the Willing to Lead Campaign. Our alumni, friends and benefactors realize the impact a Creighton Jesuit education can make in the lives of women and men. Through this campaign, we have a unique opportunity to not only support those experiences but to enhance and expand Creighton University’s Jesuit, Catholic identity. Thank you for your continued support of the campaign.
