EARLY CLOSURE MARCH 4 - Due to the forecast for severe winter weather, Creighton's Omaha campus will close at 7 P.M. this evening.
All in-person classes, clinics, and events, regardless of start time, are asked to end by 7 P.M. For those needing a shuttle, please visit my.creighton.edu for the most up-to-date maps and schedule. Shuttles will run until 8 P.M. this evening. We encourage you to be mindful of other closures or impacted services across the city as well.
Employees, including those classified as responsible for “essential operations” should review Creighton's Weather and Emergency-Related Absence Policy and work with your immediate supervisor on expectations for job functions during this curtailment of campus operations.
Please take proper winter weather precautions throughout the day and contact public safety at 402.280.2911 for any emergencies.
CGI will continue the tradition of supporting Creighton University's commitment to diversity, global engagement, and social responsibility as compelling educational and institutional priorities to help students and the entire campus engage the social, civic, and economic challenges of a diverse and unequal world. Successful CGI proposals will be those that help create settings that foster students' understanding of the intersections between their lives and global issues and their sense of responsibility as local and global citizens.
Awards will be grants for innovative projects such as guest speakers, a lecture series, course development, recruitment, immersion trips, research initiatives and campus-based workshops, among others. Proposals may be issue-specific, such as climate change, migration, or natural resources, or experiential, allowing participants to immerse more fully into global realities.
CGI success of the past two years has been evidenced in the deepened global engagement of faculty, staff and students. Projects will be sought in the same areas of interest as in the past. However, in an effort to deepen global engagement even further, such projects must demonstrate significant innovation and offer opportunities that have thus far not been available:
The 2018-2019 CGI application and award cycle is now CLOSED.
