Call for Nominations: The St. Ignatius Award

Each year, the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality recognizes members of Creighton's faculty and staff who live the spirit of St. Ignatius.

Their participation in the mission of Creighton and their involvements beyond university life reflect the Ignatian ideals of Magis, cura personalis, and being persons for and with others. To know a recipient of the St. Ignatius Award is to have experienced something of St. Ignatius, himself.

The Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality invites you to nominate a member of Creighton's faculty or staff who lives the spirit of St. Ignatius. Jesuits are not eligible for the St. Ignatius Award. The award will be presented during Mission Week, late August 2023. Read a list of past honorees.

Nominations should include:

• Name of the Nominee
• Department and Position of the Nominee
• Name, Phone Number, and E-mail Address of the Person Submitting the Nomination

Please describe, in as much depth as you are able, your understanding of how the nominee lives out the ideals of Magis, Cura Personalis, and being a person for others. In this sense, Magis as "more" is not a quantity, but a quality of soul which desires God's goodness to be seen, expressing God's greatness through our littleness. Cura Personalis is a spirit of personally caring for others, who are themselves loved creations of God, and encouraging them to an awareness of God's love. Please be as detailed as possible in your statement, and feel free to describe the graceful interactions you have witnessed in the nominee's work life, family life, and other involvements.

Email a nomination by July 31, 2023 (the feast of St. Ignatius), to juliecarlson@creighton.edu, or send it to the Deglman Center for Ignatian Spirituality, St. John's Church Room 201.
