The ILAC Center in the Dominican Republic is an international, Catholic, Ignatian-inspired, collaborative health care and educational organization that exists to promote the integral well-being and spiritual growth of all participants.  It is built upon the values of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Jesuits (Society of Jesus). All of Creighton's ILAC programs emphasize the importance of global vision and understanding in the process of educating well-rounded individuals. To this end it offers dental, medical, nursing, pharmacy, law, physical therapy and occupational therapy, undergraduate and high school students, and also to faculty-led groups, medical/surgical teams and other colleges the opportunity for service-learning and immersion experiences in the rural Dominican Republic.

Current Projects:

Service Learning Opportunities in the Following Disciplines:  Law, Water Quality, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Medical School Electives, Encuentro Dominicano.

Peace and Justice Programs aims to promote personal and social transformation. Towards the end of achieving these two objectives our work begins through the promotion of relationships. Through facilitating service, education and immersion experiences, we aim to actively engage the Xavier community in the lives of local, national and international communities. As students, faculty and staff get caught up in the lives of our local and global neighbors, in particular the lives of those individuals and communities who reside on our world’s social, economic and political margins, our programs foment and inform the desire and imperative to respond. In order to promote effective responses (and responders) we promote social analysis.
