Creighton Parents

Nothing’s more important to you than your children.

When you send them off to school, you want to make sure they have the best and most meaningful experience possible. You want to invest in their future.

That's why Creighton started the Parent Fund and the Parent and Family Leadership Council. For five years, our team of parents have led the way, offering their time, talent and gifts to the University. Gifts to the Parent Fund support scholarships and the many opportunities that make up the Creighton experience, such as activities, clubs, organizations and service initiatives.

To give to the Parent Fund, you don’t have to be the parent of a Creighton student. You can support the fund no matter how you’re connected to Creighton. You could also make a gift to the Parent Fund in honor of a loved one.

Dear Creighton parents,

I'm a parent myself, so I know the conflicting emotions that come with sending a son or daughter off to college.

On the one hand, you're thrilled. There they go, off on this exciting adventure, to make their own experiences, to create their own life separate from their parents …

And yet it still hurts to see them go. You worry for them. You never stop worrying for them. That's just what we do.

But maybe knowing this will help with the ache: When you send your son or daughter to Creighton, you're leaving them with family.

More than 4,000 undergraduate students are enrolled at Creighton, and we mean to take care of each and every one of them. We're invested in creating excellent women and men for and with others, and we strive to make each student's four or more years at Creighton as meaningful as possible.

Here's to another great year! Thank you for being a part of Creighton!

Sincerely,

Judy K. Pritza, BSN’92, MS’96
Director of the Parent and Family Program
