Driving Creighton's future
As the advisory board for the Alumni Association, the group:
- Represents alumni interests to the University
- Supports the University’s strategic initiatives
- Provides program and service direction to Alumni Relations
This is true of myself and so many other alumni I've spoken with: We almost all feel that our Creighton years were some of the best of our lives. There's something special about the Creighton experience. As a Board, our mission is to energize alumni to continue their Creighton journey, while also giving back and paying this experience forward to the next generation.

Creighton alumnus falls in love with alumna 40 years after ghosting her
Their spouses died after long battles with cancer, and Tom Myers and Cathy Jones recently reconnected to support each other as they grieved. They never expected to fall in love. Especially since Tom was the one who ghosted Cathy the first time they dated four decades ago.
