Why come to Orientation?
Look what others are saying about New Student Orientation at Creighton!
"Leo and I sent our youngest daughter, Emily, off to Creighton this fall with a little hesitancy. Emily chose Creighton “because when I visited the campus it just felt right”. Summer Preview was a great time for Emily and us to become acquainted with the campus, but the most important part of the two days was the understanding of why Emily felt called to Creighton. We were so impressed with the “education” Leo and I received about sending our child to Creighton. Then we arrived at “move in” day and how wonderful to have what we had experienced as a negative experience with our other daughter to be stress free with Emily. I was anxious to say the least, to have my “baby” leave NSO Home, but the talk by one of the Deans was so comforting and reassuring that I was leaving my child in a place that cared greatly about her as a person as well as a student. We have not been disappointed. Emily absolutely loves Creighton and made an excellent choice!!!" - Keri Brooker, parent
"It really was informative and it was comforting to know that I would be leaving my son in such good hands and with such great company." – Dawn Hinkson, parent
"Summer preview gave me a taste of Creighton that left me craving for more as the fun, excitement, and love that I experienced during those first two days as a Bluejay have yet to leave me to this day." – Cameron Hinkson (Arts and Sciences Junior)
“I loved Summer Preview because it was an awesome opportunity for me to meet people before school started. It helped me find a group of students to eat lunch with the first week, walk to class with, go to Welcome Week events with. It was just a great chance to find your niche!” – Hannah Mooney (Arts and Sciences Sophomore)
“I attended Summer Preview/Welcome Week to meet new people. I also wanted to ‘get a feel’ of what it means to be a Creighton student and I felt that what better way to do that then through programs like Summer Preview and Welcome Week!” - Allison Lohaus (recent alum)
“Summer Preview at C.U. was a nice opportunity to alleviate some of the anxiety and questions we had as parents sending our first child away to college. It made move in day a much easier, less stressful experience having already spent time on the campus. My son and I particularly enjoyed visiting with some of the professors, meeting the Dean of the Business College, and hearing some of the student leaders and administrators’ advice and tips for parents and freshmen. I'd highly recommend it for all new to C.U. parents and students." - Wendi Mandl, parent
