National Alumni Board

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more … you are a leader.” -- U.S. President John Quincy Adams

For over a century, Creighton University has nurtured a spirit of community that challenges and encourages students to grow intellectually, socially and spiritually. Our alumni not only carry Creighton’s mission of service and justice out into the world, they continue to give back to the University and ensure that future generations will benefit from Creighton’s pursuit of excellence. The Creighton University National Alumni Board is actively involved in assisting the University in that pursuit.

The National Alumni Board of Directors is made up of leaders dedicated to "advancing the interest of the Creighton family through a commitment to academic excellence, Judeo/Christian ethics and a lifelong relationship between Creighton alumni and their University that enriches both." As the governing board for Creighton’s Alumni Association, the National Alumni Board:

  • Represents to the University the interests of the alumni
  • Supports the University’s strategic initiatives in such areas as fundraising, career networking and student recruitment
  • Provides direction to the Alumni Association, in terms of programming and services

The National Alumni Board meets twice a year on the Creighton campus to discuss various University issues, alumni concerns and alumni program plans.
