By Jeff Turner Jan 19, 2021 Creighton University, soon to become the largest Catholic health sciences educator in the United States, has received a transformational $25 million gift from an anonymous foundation to establish the Arrupe Global Scholars and Partnerships Program. Named for the Rev. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, founder of the Jesuit Refugee Service, the program seeks to improve the health and well-being of the international poor and educate future servant-leader physicians. The gift will support 10 cohorts of 12 students from Creighton’s medical programs in both Omaha and Phoenix over 10 years beginning in the Fall of 2022. Under the new program, Arrupe Global Scholars will earn a medical degree while working alongside international health care workers and Creighton faculty on multiyear projects aimed at addressing significant health challenges in locations around the world. Throughout their tenure, Arrupe Global Scholars will engage other intensive programmatic elements to shape their formation as women and men of service, their skills as medical doctors, and their understanding of global health concerns as aspiring leaders in the field.
