happy easter!

"I have always felt that we are blessed to live in a climate that experiences spring," writes Creighton President Timothy R. Lannon, S.J. "While I enjoy all the seasons, none speaks of hope and new beginnings more than spring. All around us, we see signs of nature’s hopefulness. Easter matches these outward signs by filling us with hope on the inside."
