Updates for Creighton alumni in the know

The Many Beaks of Billy Bluejay

With Reunion Weekend right around the corner, we’re feeling nostalgic. To feed our need for all things Creighton, we dipped into the archives. What we discovered was enlightening, amusing and (as shown by the above photo) sometimes a little disturbing. For your enjoyment, we’ve collected the best of what we’ve found, including:

The definitive history of Creighton’s Billy Bluejay mascot costume. The bird — who turns 80 this year — has sported some interesting looks over the years!
The evolution of Creighton fashion, from the 1920s to today. Our fans know how to show their spirit with style (and sometimes very high socks).
Greetings from Creighton! We gathered dozens of vintage Creighton postcards that collectively tell 100-plus years of Creighton history.

Alumni stories

In the past month, we’ve also been able to learn about some amazing alumni …

Kaitlynn Hunt, BA’20, a former Creighton softball player who recently became the first woman to coach college baseball in Nebraska’s history.

Colin Ball, BA’13, who learned a few important lessons climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro on his honeymoon.

Dick Jeffries, JD'68, BA'95, celebrating the life of the Omaha attorney who co-piloted the meteoric rise of Godfather’s Pizza.
