Tami Buffalohead-McGill gives to Creighton because she cares deeply about the richness of the student experience at Creighton. Tami chooses to work at Creighton because Creighton empowers students and emphasizes the social responsibility that comes with an excellent education.
"I choose to give annually because I feel it is one way I can serve the mission of Creighton-- by helping create a welcoming environment for low-income and first generation students. Given the economy, people are faced with the decision about how and where to spend their resources to make the biggest impact in an area that matters most to them. For our family, we feel giving to Creighton is one of these areas where we can make an impact."
