There’s a way for alumni and friends to keep up with Creighton campus news and success stories. We’ve launched a podcast called From the Mall.
Each episode, we'll feature conversations with the people who make Creighton great, celebrating their achievements and impact, and spotlighting the ways their Creighton experience shaped their lives. Listen now:
Episode 4 is live!
From the Mall’s fourth episode features two Creighton volleyball legends: Norah Sis and Kendra Wait.
They finished up their Bluejay athletic careers last December and immediately became professional volleyball players — all while staying in school to pursue their nursing degrees. It’s been a lot! But they’re having fun with the challenges and the new hurdles. Plus, they’re grateful. For each other. For Creighton. For so many people who continue to uplift them.
