Creighton University School of Medicine launches anesthesiology and perioperative medicine residency programs in Omaha and Phoenix. The initiative aims to help address a growing national anesthesiologist shortage through rigorous clinical training and compassionate patient care; the Association of American Medical Colleges projects a U.S. shortage of 10,300 to 35,600 physicians in specialties such as anesthesiology by 2034.
Creighton University receives a record $100 million donation from the Heider Family Foundation, launching a planned $300 million campus investment. The gift supports the Jaywalk, recreational sports facilities, a new residence hall, the Creighton Quad, and improvements to nationally recognized athletic programs.
Creighton University broke ground on the Creighton Quad, a 5.7-acre green space planned as the largest physical reshaping of campus in the university’s 147-year history. The project is estimated to cost $22–25 million, is entirely donor-supported, and is scheduled to open in fall 2026.
Creighton University physics professor Janet Seger receives the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for research conducted with the ALICE Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. The award recognizes collective work by four experimental collaborations, whose researchers represent more than 70 countries.
