Fostering Integrated Learning and Deeper Understanding
The Kingfisher Institute for the Liberal Arts and Professions was established with a bold vision for the future of higher education, particularly Jesuit and Catholic higher education. We believe that liberal arts and professional education complement and reinforce one another, enabling integrated learning and insight. By connecting intellectual inquiry with compassion and practical engagement, the Institute forms graduates who unite head, heart and hands as they respond thoughtfully to the complex challenges facing our global society.
Faculty and Staff Development Opportunities
The Institute offers opportunities for faculty and staff from across the disciplines to connect through a shared mission of transforming and integrating paradigms and pedagogies from both the liberal arts and the professions.
We foster these connections in various ways, including:
- Reading and discussion groups
- Lectures, seminars and other events
- Teaching and research fellowships
- Professional development
If you’re a current faculty or staff member, you can learn more about the current opportunities on my.creighton.edu (login required).
