Eight Creighton love connections |
Our most popular feature returns, just in time for Valentine’s Day. We have eight origin stories of Bluejay bliss, including alums who went to Ireland and found love, and an alumna who waited until graduation day to confess her true feelings. Other lifelong connections began with a chat in the library, trips to the grocery store and a shared flight back to Omaha. Check out our latest collection of Alumni Love Stories.
