Omaha, NE (Dec. 9, 2017) – Longtime Creighton benefactors Richard D. and Mary Pat McCormick have endowed the University's athletic director position, providing a gift that will benefit in perpetuity Creighton's Athletic Department, its coaches and student-athletes.
Through the gift, Creighton's athletic director position will be known as the McCormick Endowed Athletic Director. The financial benefits of the endowment will help ensure Creighton student-athletes are able to succeed both in competition and in the classroom.
Richard McCormick said that, while he and Mary Pat have been very supportive of Creighton academics and its fine arts programs over the years, this endowment was a wonderful opportunity to do something special for Creighton athletics.
