Endowed Chairs

Supporting and Promoting Excellence

Both the donor and the recipient of an endowed chair become part of the legacy of Creighton University. They reflect a tradition of excellence in teaching and research nurtured through the years. Those who choose to endow a chair know their names will be linked to quality education for generations to come; endowed chairs would not be possible without the support of the larger Creighton community.
