As you begin your first semester here at Creighton, you are also about to embark on a new chapter of your life. As a new college student, Creighton will help you along your journey and will help you in taking steps to Reflect In, Shine Forth. As Welcome Week Coordinators, we are excited to introduce you to Creighton and help you achieve these dreams.

While you are at Creighton, many people will guide you through this exciting phase of your life. These people include staff members, professors, your Faculty Preceptor, Jesuits, and fellow students. The first people who will have the opportunity to help you with your journey are your Welcome Week Leaders. These students, wearing bright yellow shirts, will be your guides throughout Welcome Week. They are here to help you and have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share with you, so please do not hesitate to approach them with any questions or concerns.

Filled with a detailed schedule and helpful hints, this booklet is your guide for a great Welcome Week. Like the rest of the University, our program is guided by Creighton’s Mission Statement and the Jesuit Values, and we hope that Welcome Week reflects the very best of Creighton. This week has been designed for you, so that you may discover what Creighton has to offer, meet new people, and realize what it means to be a student at Creighton. Make the most of this week so you can begin to incorporate these ideas and people into your own, unique journey through Creighton!

Welcome to Creighton University! You are among a select group of academically successful and engaged students who we judge are prepared and poised for success in this next phase of your education. Since becoming President of Creighton, I am convinced of the value of a Creighton education. On a daily basis I experience the supportive and nurturing environment that enhances our sense of campus community, and I also observe the multiple opportunities for student involvement on and off campus in co-curricular programs and service opportunities. Rooted in a 462-year tradition of excel-lence in Jesuit education, Creighton, as one of the leading comprehensive Jesuit universities in the United States, will provide you the opportunity to attain a first-rate education. I am personally committed to Creighton’s quality in the multiple aspects that will make up your college life. Your time at Creighton will be challenging. You will learn to think for yourself, to judge issues in light of the facts, and to come to the most appropriate professional, moral and ethical conclusions. I hope you take up this challenge – to think, to judge and to act rightly – during your years among us and in your life beyond the University. Creighton is a special place – enriching and enriched by its students. Creighton students have learned over the years not only to study hard, but also how to have fun, and in the process make lifelong friendships. It is this balance that can make your college experi-ence most profitable for you, intellectually and socially. Underpinning all of this will be your moral and spiritual growth, your sense of community and your desire for service. These will become the foundation stones of your personal development. Creighton begins its 132nd year this September. There is a palpable momentum on campus, and the Omaha community senses that Creighton is “on the move.” And it is! You are joining the Creighton community at a most opportune and exciting time. Life on and off campus will not be dull! The recently added facilities and campus expansion will provide many opportunities for student activities. Over the generations, Creighton graduates have become leaders in their careers and professions; they have made a difference to society. It is my hope that you will join this partnership with us and that you develop into the person you want to be as you pursue the possibilities of Creighton and of Omaha. Again, welcome to Creighton. Be prepared to “Reflect In, Shine Forth” as you begin this journey. Be prepared to be surprised!

Sincerely,

John P. Schlegel, S.J.President, Creighton University

A Presidential Welcome

Newest Members of the Bluejay Family: It is my pleasure to personally welcome you to the student body. After an exciting summer of graduation parties, fun in the sun, and time with your friends and family, you have finally made it here to start the next chapter of your life. What lies ahead is entirely up to you, but your experiences at Creighton will undoubtedly be full of new adventures, tough challenges, and meaningful relationships. Creighton truly is the perfect place for you to develop as an individual. Throughout your time here, you will grow as a scholar through faculty challenging you to explore a deeper meaning in one of our 50 majors, as a servant challenged by a Jesuit, Catholic mission to make a difference, and as a leader ready to face tomorrow’s challenges. Creighton has a niche for developing agents of change and by the time you leave, you will have a unique set of skills and values to use for the rest of your life. Creighton Students Union, your comprehensive student government on campus, serves to better your academic, social, and cultural experiences as a Bluejay. After all, an education from Creighton isn’t just about textbooks, exams, and PowerPoint slides. The opportunities to get involved in something that will define your passions and showcase your leadership are virtually endless. There are over 200 student organizations, the Center for Service and Justice, campus ministry, a phenomenal set of faculty and staff and plenty of Jays games to watch. I guarantee that this is enough to keep you busy. This is truly a time to reflect on your past and shine forth into your future. During your years as a Bluejay, take the time to ask yourself who you are now and who you want to become. Your time here at Creighton will not only help you answer these questions but will also help get you there. Welcome to Creighton. Make yourself at home. I look forward to meeting you over the course of the week and serving you as your student body president.Best of luck on your first semester,

Dillon MiskiminsPresident, Creighton Students Union

Creighton is a Jesuit university, rooted in the Catholic tradition. At Creighton we live this mission and are guided by our identity. Because we are Catholic, we approach education with a passion for learning and a zeal for making a difference in our world. As a Jesuit university we are continually bringing the richness of a 450 year old educational tradition to bear on the most contemporary issues of our world. Our Jesuit vision commits us to form women and men of competence, conscience and compassion who have learned from reflection upon their experiences of being of and with others. We do this in service of a faith that does justice. We hold the following values dear:

Magis - Literally translated “more”. This is the challenge to strive for excellence.Women & Men For and With Others - Sharing gifts, pursuing justice, and having concern for the poor and

marginalized.Cura Personalis - “Care for the individual person.” Respecting each person as a child of God and all of God’s

creations.Unity of Heart, Mind, and Soul - Developing the whole person. Integrating all aspects of our lives.Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (AMDG) - “For the Greater Glory of God.”Forming & Educating Agents of Change - Teaching behaviors that reflect critical thought and responsible

action on moral and ethical issues.

In the spirit of the Jesuit tradition, Welcome Week and the Ratio Studiorum program have identified each of the RSP/Welcome Week groups - outlined in the back of the booklet - with a name from Jesuit history. This may be a person, location, event, or term and is intended to highlight and recognize the tradition from which your education is rooted. During the course of the Fall semester, you will be asked to learn about this term and reflect on it’s significance to your Creighton experience.

Creighton Jesuit Values

The Office of Student Success (OSS) provides services and opportunities that enhance the personal development, academic success, and retention of Creighton University students. Two key elements of student learning and development that define student success and frame our efforts are: new student transitioning and academic support. Throughout all of our work, we underscore the Jesuit tradition in striving for excellence, caring for the whole student, and unifying the heart and mind.

The Welcome Week program is housed within the Office of Student Success and is a vital component to assisting new students as they transition into college life and begin a successful career at Creighton!
