We’ve been celebrating the Christmas season all month long by revealing Bluejay-inspired goodies in the Creighton Advent Calendar. So, as you’re enjoying the hap-hap-happiest season of all, consider sprinkling a little Bluejay spirit into your cup of cheer. 

Why did the campus’s holiday decorations get removed in 1995? How many people signed a petition against moving the official Christmas tree in 2000? What does Billy Bluejay need for Christmas? We asked. You answered. Check out the results of our Day 11 Advent Calendar trivia quiz. 

A tradition inside Creighton’s law school library: the assembly of a Christmas tree made entirely out of books. Ten cartloads of books! It’s a multi-day project, led by Erin Dunkleman, BS’08, and a team of festive student volunteers. And it’s been going on for multiple years now.

Betsy Tanner, BSBA’21, was a Creighton student who had a plan. Or so she thought. Then, the pandemic canceled her internship. What happened next laid the groundwork for a still-operational student club and helped set the stage for her professional success. Read more about Creighton’s Community Analytics Consulting Team and the alumna who started it all.
