Creighton Student Success

☀️Summers for our Success Center team means we take time together to step away from our desks and our screens to connect with campus partners-and each other! Today we visited our upstairs neighbors in Reinert’s Makerspace. Time well-spent!

While attending the NASPA Conference on Student Success in Higher Education in Austin, Student Success leaders joined our Jesuit Student Success Network (JSSN) peers from Marquette, Loyola Chicago, Loyola New Orleans, Fordham, and Fairfield universities to connect and collaborate.
