A brief description of how sustainability is included prominently in new student orientation (including how multiple dimensions of sustainability are addressed):
An afternoon event, "Creighton For & With Others", focuses on partnering new students with the Omaha community. Community partners include City Sprouts, Habitat for Humanity, Omaha Food Bank and two local homeless shelters, Siena Francis House and the Stephen Center. A follow-up event takes students into the community to meet with the partners.
There are several diversity-themed events during welcome week for first-year students, including a Multicultural Enrichment Institute and an open house at the Lieben Center for Women, among others.
All students, including transfers and graduate students, are invited to a Volunteer Fair, in which students can talk to local organizations that need volunteers to assist with programs that address social inequalities, food justice, and immigration support.
