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
