Mike and Josie Harper Center

Congratulations to Shoshana Berger for winning the logo design for the Mike & Josie Harper Center for Student Life & Learning. Student Services received 1,393 votes for the graphic design contest.

In Shoshana's words:

The shape describes sharing and collaboration- the spreading lines symbolize spread pages of a book in one direction, gathering together in the other direction, a symbol of collaboration for the sharing of knowledge and resources.

Together with the color and curvature, it shows, as per the vision statement, the combining of the academic process to that of non-academic services of student life.

PROPOSED MISSION STATEMENT:

Creighton University fosters an environment which promotes respect and service to all peoples , values diversity, and upholds the ideals of Jesuit education. To this means, the Harper Center for Student Life and Learning links the educational process with social encounter and wellness of body.
