Year in Review App Download Student Technology Requirements COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IN THE JESUIT TRADITION Creighton University, inspired out of a Catholic and Jesuit tradition, treasures the innate dignity of each member of our community and upholds the sanctity of each human being as a profound gift from God. We seek, acknowledge and celebrate diversity at Creighton because our Catholic and Ignatian heritage inspires and compels us to do so. At the same time, we recognize that the injustice and violence of systemic racism and discrimination in our world are real. At Creighton, we believe we must recognize the complexities that contribute to the smothering effects of these social ills, as well as pursue opportunities and actions for an institution such as ours to create healing and wholeness. Creighton’s Division of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion collaboratively leads the University in developing and deepening our commitment to progress in diversity and inclusion as a strength and asset using an inclusive excellence perspective. The office leads efforts to continually and sustainably foster a welcoming, inclusive and affirming University environment where each individual is cherished and can succeed as their fully authentic self and as a reflection of justice and our Catholic, Jesuit mission. Conference on Opportunity, Diversity and Equity The Greater Omaha Chamber and Creighton University have partnered again on the third annual Conference on Opportunity, Diversity and Equity. The two-day event helps Omaha area professionals expand the scope of the diversity and inclusion initiatives. Hear Sarah Walker, PhD, professor in the Heider College of Business and Creighton’s interim vice president for equity, diversity and inclusion, speak about the importance of this work. Responding to Systemic Racism Amid renewed calls for racial justice across the country, Creighton University joins the individuals and institutions working to understand their own part in perpetuating systemic racism. Building on the ongoing social justice work of faculty, administrators and others, Creighton University is investing more than ever in anti-racism.
