    AN EQUATION FOR SUCCESS: $10 MILLION GIFT, PLUS OUTSTANDING SCIENCE PROGRAMS, EQUALS INFINITE POSSIBILITIES P30 FALL 2017 FALL Volume 33 Issue 3 33 Issue Volume Message from the President A Time of Community and Thanksgiving n this annual season of thanksgiving, I am indeed grateful for our supportive alumni and friends, dedicated faculty and staff, and exceptionally talented students. Our University continues to attract record numbers of students, receive national recognition for academic excellence, and engender tremendous support from our alumni and donors. In September, we announced a transformational $10 million gift from longtime Creighton friends and supporters George Haddix, PhD, MA’66, and his wife, Susan, to build and Ienhance academic programming in the College of Arts and Sciences. I am thankful for George and Susan’s generous commitment to Creighton, and excited about the many opportunities it will offer our students and faculty. I am also grateful for our spirit of community on campus, which lifts us up in hopefulness and comforts us in times of tragedy. At the beginning of the academic year, we gathered in prayer and support after a four-vehicle crash claimed the life of one of our bright, young students, and injured three others. An alumna traveling in a separate car also was injured. Joan Ocampo-Yambing, the 19-year-old computer science major from Rosemount, Follow me: Minnesota, who died in the collision, was remembered on campus as a bright light, a @CreightonPres loving friend, and an outstanding student. She is greatly missed. CreightonPresident We also mourned the passing of several faculty and staff, along with two former members of our Board of Trustees.

  • Malcolm X: a Native Son’S Long, Invisible Shadow
    Journal of Liberal Arts and Humanities (JLAH) Issue: Vol. 1; No. 2 February 2020 pp. 109-118 ISSN 2690-070X (Print) 2690-0718 (Online) Website: www.jlahnet.com E-mail: [email protected] Malcolm X: A Native Son’s Long, Invisible Shadow Dr. Nikitah Okembe-RA Imani Professor of Black Studies University of Nebraska-Omaha Department of Black Studies Arts and Sciences Hall Suite 184 6001 Dodge Street Omaha, Nebraska 68182 (402) 554-2412 Fax (402) 554-3883 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. It is normal for a city and a state to embrace someone of significant historical stature to promote their historical significance to the nation and the world and to generate revenue from tourism and to benefit in other ways from the association with the historical figure. In the case of Malcolm, there has been a perpetual debate over recognition. This article discusses the role of Omaha as an important crucible for the context of Malcolm’s birth, and for his parents rearing of him in the “black” liberation tradition. His legacy and the debates over it are central to contemporary discussions in the state and the city about the place of African people: present, past, and future. From the very beginning, any connection between Malcolm and his birthplace was bound to be problematic, not merely from the expected political backlash by those who did not like the man or any of his evolutionary ideological positions and rhetoric, but also because of the nature of the literal encounter with Omaha itself.

  • Annual Report 2018 - 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2018 - 2019 Annual Report 1 Dear Marian Supporters, As chair of the Marian Board of Directors, I am happy to present the 2018-2019 financial results. Marian has been educating young women in the Catholic, Servite tradition since 1955. True to its mission, Marian has nurtured leaders who use their talents and faith to give hope to the world. Building on that legacy, Marian now faces an exciting future. Marian’s financial position is strong, thanks in large part to your many generous contributions. Steady enrollment also enhances our financial strength. Advancement efforts are bearing increasing fruit. The board, school leadership and finance team work together to ensure good stewardship of Marian’s resources. As a result, in 2018-2019, Marian was able to provide nearly $1.6 million in tuition assistance, issued to 50% of the student body. Marian attracts and retains outstanding faculty, 90% of whom hold master’s degrees. Our young women are challenged academically and nurtured spiritually, as they develop into leaders inspired by faith. Students participate in more than 60 clubs and activities, from athletics to theater, the Bowling Club to Mock Trial, Campus Ministry to the Young Politicians Club, and more. Although not required, 100 % of our students participate in community service. With all this, they excel academically. Over the last three years, 70% of Marian’s senior class has earned merit-based scholarships, with an average award of $40,000. The values and leadership of the Servants of Mary are foundational throughout Marian. The sisters’ support and presence are true blessings for which we are grateful.
