Today was an amazing day for Creighton. I know I often gush about Creighton...but it was simply amazing.
Here you had leaders from Creighton, leaders from the city, student learders, alumni, donors, parents, and all of the many wonderful folks who helped build the Harper Center and our new mall--it was a wonderful dedication for a facility that will literally serve students for many generations to come.
Dr. Cernech made this comment...and I loved it. New students will come in, take classes, serve others, lead their peers, be involved in the numerous leadership and growth opportunities, graduate, and some day come back and get married and celebrate---all through the doors of Harper. I liked that example....as I think it underscores the point about becoming a bluejay....the school is here for you, for your life. It isn't just an education, but a way of proceeding. A good reminder for me, indeed.
