Institute for Latin American Concern
Since its inception more than 50 years ago, Creighton-ILAC and our local partner, CESI, have seen tremendous growth in student participation and local community impact. Many of the buildings that are used daily on CESI’s campus were built in the 1980s and need extra amor.
Donations from 2025 Giving Day will support infrastructure upgrades to help equip CESI’s campus for years to come.
Your gift makes a difference
When you visit ILAC's campus, you will see tangible results of past generous Giving Day gifts!
From new rocking chairs to additional seating in the ILAC chapel, from an updated Encuentro Dominicano classroom space to a reimagined workout area.
All are a result of Creighton Giving Day support!
About the ILAC/CESI Center
A partnership of more than 50 years, the ILAC/CESI Center in the Dominican Republic continues to provide programming that emphasizes the importance of global vision and understanding in educating well-rounded individuals.
Creighton-ILAC offers dental, medical, nursing, pharmacy, law, physical therapy, occupational therapy, undergraduate and high school students the opportunity to learn through service.
ILAC and its Dominican partner, CESI (Centro de Educacion para la Salud Integral), have provided vital surgeries and medical procedures for those living in neighboring rural communities.
Since the organization launched in the ‘70s, more than 5,000 Creighton students, volunteers, and healthcare workers have participated in Creighton-ILAC programs in the Dominican Republic.
Check out 360 views of the ILAC Center! Here's the courtyard, library entrance, cafeteria and recreation space, and the campus guest cottages and running track.
