Our partnerships with community organizations, corporate partners, government agencies and individuals support our students, faculty, staff and alumni in creating a more just world through a life of service.

We seek partnerships that:

Encompass all levels of education
Touch the Catholic community
Enhance our healthcare initiatives and relationships
Reach underserved and diverse communities
Collaborate with government and civic agencies

We develop community programs that foster:

Interprofessional Education: more commonly called “field education” or “clinicals,” this skill-based community programming emphasizes the students’ professional development
Service-Learning: helps to form students into “men and women for and with others” through experiential learning and reflection
Community Service: enables faculty, staff and students of Creighton University to carry out the Jesuit mission of service and empower them to examine, engage and change the world
Faculty/Staff Community Participation: time devoted to service on boards, commissions and committees—locally, regionally, nationally and internationally
Community Resource: the University provides venues for community events, including educational and athletic events
Government Relations: promote the University as a resource to public officials and collaborator with which to address community needs
