New name, new date, same incredible community. 

Creighton Alumni Relations is excited to announce Creighton Days (Sept. 29-Oct. 2)! 

Creighton Days is Reunion Weekend reimagined — four days of reunion parties, walking tours, campus festivities, food, fun, music and so much more.  

This family-friendly event invites alumni from the classes of 1972, 1982 and 1997 to celebrate their milestone reunion years. But Creighton Days will be our premier event for ALL alumni and friends, a celebration of this amazing place and one-of-a-kind community. 

This fall marks the 100-year anniversary of Creighton’s very first alumni Homecoming, which featured a gigantic parade march downtown, with about 10,000 spectators.  

“With this anniversary coming up, we thought, ‘What better time to bring Creighton reunions back to the fall?’” said Evie Samuelson, associate director of alumni, signature programs. “One of the great joys of coming back to campus is seeing a lively and active Creighton in context. Creighton Days will give alumni a chance to connect with the students of today.” 

For the first time since 2019, the University plans to host in-person reunion events — including a Presidential Reception with the Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD. (Please note that plans could change based on how campus’ COVID-19 safety protocols evolve.) 

Stay tuned over the next few months for exciting news about Creighton Days and the many ways you will be able to strengthen your lifelong connection to Creighton!
