SUMMER PREVIEW 2009ONE-DAY SESSION SCHEDULE

Hello! We are very excited to welcome you to the Creighton community. The Summer Preview staff would like to help you “Ignite your Passion” throughout your years here.

Students, this is your new home. We challenge you to explore this unknown territory. We encourage family members to learn about all the opportunities Creighton has to offer your student. Attend as many programs as possible and, of course, have fun along the way.

The students in the poppy shirts - our acclaimed Summer Preview Guides - are here to help you throughout your time here. Ask them questions. Ask them anything. They know it all, from how to get involved to the difference between Dining Dollars and JayBucks. The Guides are truly the experts on campus.

We hope you enjoy your preview of Creighton. If there’s anything we can do to make your visit more accommodating, please let us know. Welcome to the family.

Sincerely,

WELCOME
