ROBERT F. KENNEDY MEMORIAL AWARD FOR TEACHING ACHIEVEMENT Thomas E. Pisarri, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Biomedical Sciences Creighton University Presented by John McCoy President, Creighton Students Union

Each year, exemplary Creighton University professors are nominated for the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Teaching Achievement, sponsored by the Creighton Students Union representing all nine schools and colleges. Nominees are highly competent in their fields, interesting and effective teachers and demonstrate concern for their students. The 2014 recipient is Dr. Thomas E. Pisarri, assistant professor of biomedical sciences in the School of Medicine. Dr. Pisarri has been an assistant professor at Creighton University since 1993. He has served as a volunteer abroad with the United Nations and completed post-doctoral training in physiology. In his 20-year tenure, he has instructed over 20 courses in physiology to medical, graduate, nursing and undergraduate students, as well as physicians in the University’s medical education program. He mentors and advises graduate students and has served on over 40 University committees. Dr. Pisarri serves on the editorial boards of major medical publications and reviews submissions for numerous academic journals. His research centers on control of blood flow to airways of the lungs and mechanisms by which airways are protected against the entry of foreign materials. His door is always open to students who need mentoring or assistance in mastering course content. His students are inspired to go beyond reading the textbook and attending lectures, and they often find themselves applying what he teaches them in other courses and situations. He is generous with his time and students know that he is genuinely interested in them and their success. For his humble and selfless service to Creighton University and its students, the Creighton Students Union is honored to recognize Dr. Thomas E. Pisarri of the School of Medicine as the 2014 recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Teaching Achievement.

PRESENTATION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION Lasting Hope Recovery Center Sheree L. Keely, LCSW Vice President Behavioral Services Alegent Creighton Health

Presented by Thomas Svolos, M.D. Professor and Chair, Department of Psychiatry

Ten years ago, Omaha was facing a crisis in psychiatric care. Two inpatient psychiatric facilities had closed, leaving people who needed inpatient psychiatric services with nowhere to go. They ended up in emergency rooms, hospitals, jails and on the streets. Two civic leaders, Creighton University trustees, Ken Stinson and Howard Hawks, along with their wives Ann Stinson and Rhonda Hawks, made a commitment to address this crisis. They brought together community providers, academics, community leaders, government agencies, the state legislature and patients to develop a collaborative response to this crisis, part of which was a fundraising drive that raised $25 million to build Lasting Hope Recovery Center. At Lasting Hope Recovery Center, a 64-bed adult psychiatric facility in Omaha, patients experiencing mental illness and substance abuse disorders receive high quality diagnosis and treatment. Their families have access to expertise and support in a welcoming and caring environment. It is an entry point for a continuum of care that is less intensive, more nurturing and more cost-effective in returning patients to productive lives. The center is operated by Alegent Creighton Health. In addition to providing quality care, it is a critical teaching and service component of the Creighton University health sciences schools, offering team-based, interprofessional training for health sciences students and psychiatric residents. Lasting Hope is a refuge for those in mental crisis, whether they come in off the street, through the law enforcement system or physician referral. In the warm, private rooms and bright, airy courtyards, patients are treated with compassion and encouraged to engage with one another. Broken spirits are healed, and hope becomes a pathway to recovery. Creighton University salutes the mission of the Lasting Hope Recovery Center and the commitment upon which it was founded.

ALUMNI ACHIEVEMENT CITATION William A. Fitzgerald, BSBA’59

Chair Emeritus Creighton University Board of Trustees Presented by James B. O’Brien, BSPha’71 Trustee, Creighton University Board of Trustees For 40 years, William A. Fitzgerald gave his heart and soul as a member of the Creighton University Board of Trustees in order to position the University for success far into the future. Fitzgerald is an Omaha native, a Creighton University graduate who first joined the board in 1973 and who served as chair from 2000 to 2011. He has been a trusted advisor to five Creighton University presidents. His dedication and loyalty to Creighton is matched only by his commitment to a greater Omaha through his philanthropic efforts. Over the years, he has held leadership roles in as many as 28 nonprofit organizations, and has led fundraising efforts touching all walks of life, from religious organizations, healthcare, elementary and secondary education, the arts and social services agencies. He has become one of Creighton University’s most enthusiastic ambassadors, and one of Omaha’s most respected business leaders. His career in banking began prior to entering high school, when he worked part time as a clerk and teller. As chairman and CEO of Commercial Federal Bank (now Bank of the West), one of the region’s largest privately owned banks, he helped transform it into an iconic company. Through his vision and innovation, particularly in the pioneering use of ATMs, Commercial Federal became a household name. As one of the most respected bank executives in the region, Fitzgerald was inducted into both the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame and the Omaha Business Hall of Fame. Fitzgerald and his wife, Barb Miskell Fitzgerald, are two of Omaha’s strongest supporters of Jesuit and Catholic education, and their generosity has extended from the Archdiocese to the Jesuit community and every widely known Catholic and civic organization in the city. William Fitzgerald’s life is an outstanding example of being a man for and with others, a cardinal value of Jesuit education. He stands as a role model for all Creighton students, alumni, faculty and staff who seek to live the Creighton difference. With deepest gratitude and respect, Creighton University proudly confers upon William “Bill” Fitzgerald its highest alumni honor, the Alumni Achievement Citation.

HISTORY OF CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY Edward and John Creighton, sons of Irish immigrants, provided the inspiration for the comprehensive university that bears their name. The brothers, who came to Omaha in the 1850s, married the Wareham sisters, Mary Lucretia and Sarah Emily. The Creightons were key figures in the development of the first transcontinental telegraph and pioneer leaders in Omaha and Nebraska. Edward was primarily responsible for the laying of the transcontinental telegraph lines from Omaha to the west coast and his financial interests became a major force in the economic development of Omaha. John and several other family members joined Edward in his diversified business pursuits, which included freight hauling, cattle ranching and banking. Edward died in 1874. It was his widow, Mary Lucretia, who honored her husband’s dream of building a university to educate the children of pioneers. She included $100,000 in her will for the purpose of establishing a school in memory of her husband. She specified that the school be “in the city of Omaha,” “of the class and grade of a college” and “known as Creighton University.” She died not long afterwards and her estate executors, who included her brother-in-law, John Creighton, purchased 6.2 acres of land at the northwest corner of 24th and California streets. On that site, they erected a school building and then transferred the land, the building and additional securities to the Right Rev. James O’Connor, D.D., Bishop of Omaha, on July 1, 1878. The land and the building are still part of Creighton University. The early growth of Creighton University and the enlargement of its endowment were due mainly to the generosity and leadership of John and Sarah Emily Creighton. Bishop O’Connor asked the Jesuits to operate the college and the University’s first president, Rev. Romanus A. Shaffel, S.J., arrived in Omaha in July of 1878. One priest, three scholastics, a layman and laywoman formed the faculty when classes began. On Aug. 14, 1879, Bishop O’Connor surrendered his trust to a new corporation, “The Creighton University” and the institution was incorporated under Nebraska law. Because at the time of its opening there were few institutions in Omaha that prepared their students for college-level work, much of the initial teaching in the college was at a secondary school level. It was not until 13 years later in 1891 that the first baccalaureate degree was awarded. Jesuits were exclusive managers of the corporation until 1968 when the Board of Directors was expanded to include laypersons. Today, 30 lay persons and seven Jesuits conduct the corporate affairs of Creighton University. Creighton University is nationally known and recognized as one of the most comprehensive universities for its size in the country. Creighton University has a College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Schools of Nursing, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy and Health Professions, the Graduate School and University College. A large percentage of students still come from the Midwest, but students from nearly every state and many foreign countries provide an interesting ethnic and cultural blend. Creighton continues to uphold the more than 450-year-old tradition of academic excellence celebrated by the Jesuit order. An active community of Jesuit scholars, teachers and administrators lives on campus. They influence every aspect of University life. As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Creighton seeks to educate the whole person — academically, physically and spiritually. To experience a Creighton education is to learn that knowledge must be coupled with compassion and a commitment to help one’s fellow man, that faith must be lived each day, and that learning how to think is as important as what to think. These are qualities that Creighton graduates take with them and apply throughout their lives. It is the values-centered education Creighton offers which continues to attract students, not only from the Midwest, but from around the world.

CREIGHTON CREST

(FRONT COVER)

The Creighton University crest includes elements representing the Creighton family, Creighton’s Jesuit tradition and the Omaha Archdiocese. The crest is for ceremonial use. The gold stripes on the red field, in the upper left-hand quadrant of the shield, come from the family coat of arms of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus or Jesuits. The lion rampant comes from the Creighton family coat of arms and the three seashells on a field of white and red sable come from the Wareham family coat of arms — giving nod to Creighton University’s founding families. The design for the shield’s final quadrant, in the lower left, comes from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Omaha. The starburst behind the shield comes from the seal of the Society of Jesus.

CEREMONIAL MACE In the Middle Ages, the mace was a club used in battle and carried by a bodyguard to defend a person of authority. Over the years, it began to lose its warlike image and became a symbol of peaceful leadership. At an academic institution, the mace is the symbol of the legal and chartered authority of the people — usually the president and vice presidents — to whom the board of trustees have delegated authority. When the ceremonial mace is present, the authority of the university is present. Use of the mace is reserved for occasions of outstanding importance and it is an honor to bear the mace. Carrying it today is the president of the University’s Faculty, Thomas F. Coffey, Ph.D. The Creighton University mace was designed and fashioned by Brian K. Besack, operation supervisor of the University’s carpenter shop, at the invitation of then president, the Reverend John P. Schlegel, S.J., to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the University. Using a cherry wood baluster from a long abandoned staircase in the attic of Creighton Hall, the oldest building on Creighton’s campus, Besack designed and fashioned the shaft, head and foot of the mace. Each facet of the nine-sided head displays a bronze, gold-plated medallion bearing the name and founding date of the University’s schools and colleges. Its foot is sheathed in gold-plated brass and cradled in its shaft rests the official seal of the University. At its top, the mace is crowned with a threedimensional blue and gold medallion symbol of the Society of Jesus.

GRADUATION HONORS Students may graduate with honors. Criteria for graduation honors can be found in the Creighton University Bulletins. Students who have completed their degree requirements and meet the honors criteria at the time of print, have their honors listed in this program, as well as on their diploma and transcript. Students meeting their degree requirements at a later date and meet the honors criteria, may receive graduation honors that will be listed on their diploma and transcript.

DEGREE CONFERRAL Creighton University confers degrees three times per year: August, December and May. Annual University commencement ceremonies are held in May. Students who complete their degree programs in August or December may attend the May commencement ceremony following completion, or with approval of the Dean’s Office, in the preceding May.

ACADEMIC ATTIRE The history of academic dress reaches far back into the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1321 required that all “Doctors, Licentiates, and Bachelors” of the University of Coimbra wear gowns. In England, in the second half of the 14th century, the statutes of certain colleges forbade “excess in apparel” and prescribed the wearing of a long gown. While European institutions continue to show great diversity in their specifications of academic dress, American colleges and universities generally have adopted the Intercollegiate Code for Academic Costumes. This code specifies design characteristics of gowns, hoods, caps and tassels, including pattern, material, color, trimmings, etc. For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctors’ gowns, edging of hoods and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:

Agriculture.........................................................Maize

Nursing..........................................................Apricot

Architecture.......................................................Blue Violet

Occupational Therapy.................................Ink Blue
