Sustainable Creighton
“As a Catholic, Jesuit institution, Creighton University must be an authentic source of hope for our students— past, present, prospective and future—who are deeply worried about the sustainability of our common home upon which their future depends.
“In the Catholic tradition, hope is not passive wishing. Hope is a virtue that catalyzes bold local and systemic action to advance love, justice, peace and sustainability—what Christians call the kingdom of God. As a virtue, hope must be informed by other virtues, especially prudence as right reason applied to action. Faced with modern ecological degradation and the climate crisis, hope requires action guided by the best available science.”
—Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD
President, Creighton University
