Endowed Chairs

Endowed Chairs

Both the donor and the recipient of an endowed chair become part of the legacy of Creighton University, 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.
