Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Teaching Achievement (2025)
Since 1970, the Creighton Students Union has awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Award for Teaching Achievement to a professor who exemplifies true excellence in teaching, inspires students, and represents the University’s highest standards. Each year, students from all nine colleges and schools nominate professors they consider exemplary educators. Nominees must demonstrate high competence in their fields and present subject matter in interesting and effective ways. Beyond teaching aptitude, nominees must inspire, serve and take interest in students as individuals.
