Created by the Division of Student Life in 2018, the Intercultural Student Engagement Council builds an infrastructure for students to promote an inclusive environment at Creighton University while utilizing common language, creating opportunity for dialogue, and providing educational outreach to the campus. The council links the multiculturalism of our ever-changing world to Creighton’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. It brings together students from all areas of campus to be leaders in reinforcing the values, attitudes and behaviors that create an inclusive and accepting community.
