Creighton Named ‘Best Neighbor‘ University

Creighton University once again has been recognized nationally as a “best neighbor” for its community impact. Creighton ranked in the top 10 at No. 6.

The top-25 listing, compiled by a national higher education expert, recognizes the positive effects these institutions have on their urban communities through commercial and residential activities such as revitalization, cultural renewal, economics, community service and development.

“Creighton takes great pride in its strong partnership with the city of Omaha, “ said Creighton President the Rev. John P. Schlegel, S.J., citing the fact that Creighton has invested more than $285 million in needed academic, student and community facilities that have improved the economic vitality, cultural renewal and civic engagement of both the University and the city. “But even more important are the community service and community relationships the University fosters at the very heart of our mission,” Fr. Schlegel added.
