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 Office of the Dean, in the preceding May. Participation in a commencement ceremony does not guarantee a degree is officially earned. A degree is conferred only after the dean verifies all academic requirements are met and the degree is posted on the student’s transcript by the Office of the Registrar. 4 Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa Mae C. Jemison, MD Professor-at-large, Cornell University Science, art, culture, humanities, technology. The technicolor career of Mae Jemison, MD, has been informed by and delved deeply into each of these pursuits, leading her into medicine, the Peace Corps, dance, advocacy, innovation and, in 1992, outer space, where, as a mission specialist and the first African-American woman in space, she made 126 orbits around Earth on the space shuttle Endeavor. A strong proponent of the humanities across the curriculum, Jemison got her start early as the daughter of an elementary schoolteacher and a maintenance worker who encouraged her curiosity. As a youngster laid up with an infection, Jemison decided to perform an extended experiment on pus. At 16, Jemison graduated high school early and earned a scholarship to Stanford University, where she earned dual bachelor degrees in chemical engineering and African and African American studies. Enrolling in medical school at Cornell University, Jemison also began taking classes in modern dance at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York. Her dancing ambitions led to the construction of a dance studio in her home and Jemison has also produced several shows in modern jazz and African dance. While a medical officer with the Peace Corps in Liberia and Sierra Leone from 1983 to 1985, Jemison supervised pharmacy, laboratory and medical staffs, developed and implemented guidelines for health and safety, and worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help research various vaccines. Seeing Sally Ride make her historic spaceflight in 1983, Jemison started to think about rekindling a childhood dream. In 1987, she became one of 15 candidates selected from a field of more than 2,000 applicants to begin NASA astronaut training. On Sept. 12, 1992, Jemison went up with six fellow astronauts on an eight-day mission aboard Endeavor, where she co-led an investigation on two bone-cell experiments. In 1999, Jemison founded BioSentient Corp, a technology firm dedicated to developing monitoring of the involuntary nervous system. The company is licensed to use NASA’s autogenic feedback training exercise, a patented technique using biofeedback and autogenic therapy, allowing patients to monitor and control their physiology as a possible treatment for anxiety and stress-related disorders. Jemison founded the Jemison Institute for Advancing Technology in Developing Countries and started the Jemison Group to research, market and develop science-based solutions for daily life. The Jemison Group also seeks to engender a love of science among youth and to spread advanced technology around the world. Jemison also started the 100-Year Starship program, an international science camp for high schoolers. Among myriad honors, Jemison was most recently bestowed the 2017 Buzz Aldrin Space Pioneer Award, the 2005 National Audubon Society’s Rachel Carson Award, and is an inductee in the 2004 class of the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently a professor-at-large at Cornell University, she continues to promote science education among minority students and illustrating African-American achievements in science through history. She works tirelessly as an advocate for the central position of the social sciences and humanities in the study of science and technology. 5 Candidates for Earned Degrees COLLEGE OF NURSING Names read by Mary Kunes-Connell, PhD, RN, Associate Dean BACHELOR OF Valerie Nicole Bower Sarah Jane DelMonte Catherine Ann Greenheck SCIENCE IN NURSING summa cum laude magna cum laude magna cum laude Hastings, Nebraska Castle Rock, Colorado St. Paul, Minnesota Rachel Lynne Abreu Rachel C.

REVITALIZING THE STREET OF DREAMS: A NORTH 24TH STREET CASE STUDY University Honors Program Thesis University of Nebraska at Omaha Submitted by Tiffany Hunter May 2019 Advisor: David Beberwyk ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the North 24th Street corridor in Omaha, Nebraska, to highlight the benefits of investing in commercial real estate development, propose tools for financing new development or redevelopment projects, and to suggest methods of building a coherent development plan to avoid gentrification. Commercial development provides the following: quality business space, accessible jobs for an underemployed populace, additional tax revenue, and a reduction in community detriments such as crime, empty lots, and low property values. The North 24th Street corridor has economic potential, as it is less than one mile from downtown Omaha, the core of the city.

Program participants work toward a master’s degree in education, tuition-free, while serving in Catholic schools — especially those struggling economically. These Magis teachers also engage in spiritual formation and live together in community, rounding out their education. Sharing the Passion for Research ...............................16 Creighton University students, including undergraduates, are often extended unique opportunities to collaborate with faculty members who have distinguished themselves as 10 leading scholars in their fields. Creighton’s Bridget Keegan, Ph.D., shares a few of these stories. Brain Gain .......................................................................22 A second-year medical student works with two Creighton researchers in a breakthrough study that finds that oxygenating the brain during neurosurgery not only reduces mortality, but enhances overall patient outcomes. Their research drew the attention of the prestigious American Association of Neurological Surgeons. 16 On the cover: Clockwise from upper left, Creighton University Magis teacher John Roselle, BA’07; the Most Rev.

  • An Invitation to Join the Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society
    CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY An Invitation to Join the Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society Creighton was founded in 1878 through a generous estate gift from Mary Lucretia Creighton, who wished to establish a school in her husband Edward’s name. Edward and Mary Lucretia, philanthropic leaders in the Omaha community, were passionate about higher education. With no children of their own, Mary Lucretia knew a college in her husband’s name was the most appropriate way to honor him. Thus, the students of Creighton College, now Creighton University, became the Creightons’ legacy. The Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society,Creighton University’s premier donor recognition society, honors the foundation built by Edward and Mary Lucretia. Creighton Society leadership donors contribute annual gifts of $1,000 or more, ensuring that Creighton University remains a leader in providing the highest quality Catholic, Jesuit education to her students. Gifts at the Creighton Society level strengthen Creighton’s mission through support for: Creighton University’s area of greatest need, which allows the University to invest in people, programs and facilities that foster the spiritual, intellectual, social and recreational development of our students in the Jesuit spirit of cura personalis. Scholarships for our students who would otherwise be unable to afford a Creighton education and who are now on a path for professional distinction, ethical leadership and involved citizenship. Faculty development programs that enhance teaching and contribute to the expansion of general knowledge and the betterment of the global society. Creighton’s nine colleges and schools, giving our deans the flexibility to enhance their individual programs and support the important work being done by their faculty, staff and students by funding innovative academic initiatives.
