A Creighton degree 50 years in the making |
Al Lopez, BS’26, performed on cruise ships, appeared in TV soap operas, started a family and became a respected hospitality executive. But he didn’t have his Creighton degree. So, when work brought him back to Omaha to open the Let It Fly sports bar in 2023, Lopez got to thinking… Should he finish? Could he? Here’s how Lopez became a Creighton grad, 50 years after he first started.

The college class alumni wish they could take again |
If you could take a Creighton class again, what would it be? Our spontaneous social media question recently sparked dozens of responses from multiple generations of alumni. We logged as many as we could. Irish History, Social Justice in the Old Testament, Einstein, Paleontology and more! Passionate professors left their mark. Alumni never forgot. See which classes made the list.

Why Creighton is home for coach Johnny Torres |
Johnny Torres spent 10 years living out a dream as a professional soccer player, but he always knew he’d end up back on campus to finish his degree. He didn’t expect to be the “old guy” in his 30s sitting in class with teenagers. But Creighton’s special for Torres, so much so that he’s still here. Learn more about the Bluejays’ men’s soccer head coach.

The story behind Creighton’s new tooth sculpture |
If you walk by the School of Dentistry building and spot a shiny tooth sitting in an outdoor patio, just know it’s there to make you smile. And if you take a selfie, send it to John Meyer, DDS'81. He has so much gratitude for his time at Creighton that he wanted to commemorate his appreciation with a gift. A gift that’s made of stainless steel.
