FACULTY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
In the area of mission and identity
 


In addition to FMIG, there are ample opportunities for faculty members to deepen their understanding of and engage in discussions about the specifics of Jesuit higher education in the 21st century.

The list below is by no means comprehensive, and may not always be up-to-date. It is intended to provide faculty members with an idea of the available programs as well as the entities organizing them.

Proposed Programs
Endowed Research Chair for Jesuit Mission Through enhanced faculty mentoring, we can further integrate the Jesuit educational tradition in the classroom. Through such an endowment, senior faculty would guide junior faculty in preparing coursework that incorporates values and engages students as active listeners. This would leverage the wisdom of tenured professors and reward them for assisting their junior colleagues. In turn, new Ph.D.s would provide leadership as the teacher-scholars well equipped to promote the mission of Creighton. n/a HTML Capital Willing to Lead Campaign Office of Development
