Featured Testimonial About Creighton University
Which Creighton class would you take again if you had the chance?
We were feeling the back-to-school vibes when Bluejay students returned to campus this fall, so we posed that question to Creighton alumni on Facebook and Instagram.
It didn’t take long for the responses to pour in.
The memories were thoughtful and meaningful. Not every class aligned with an alum’s eventual career path. But that’s part of the Creighton experience. Sometimes influential lessons come from unexpected places.
Note: If you would like to share a memory from your favorite Creighton class, send an email to Jon Nyatawa and you may be featured in a future story.
