Creighton Tradition

EXPERIENCE A

Reunion Weekend is the ultimate Creighton experience—the Hilltop Jam, music at Morrison, a service project, yoga in the Jesuit Gardens, Mass, class parties and so much more. It’s a great time for you to visit campus buildings both familiar and new, and to share Creighton memories with friends and family.

We’re excited to welcome you home to Creighton this spring!

Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD MESS AGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson, SJ, PhD President, Creighton University

If you have not been back to Creighton for a few years—and, in fact, even if you have—you are sure to be inspired, if not awe-struck. The campus has grown in size and prominence, and I am eager for you to enjoy the enduring essence of Creighton’s mission and hospitality.

I hope you will return home to kick o� the summer season by joining classmates and friends for Reunion Weekend 2019. The days o�er something for everyone —class parties, tours, live music, family activities, receptions, continuing education, and more, not to mention unlimited opportunities to reconnect with our amazing community of faculty, sta�, Jesuits, and fellow alumni.

While much has changed, many of the things you love about your alma mater stand strong. Do come and see how the Bluejay spirit is soaring into the University’s 141st year. You will be glad you did, and I am looking forward to seeing you.
