It's a Wonderful Life

Why on Earth are we posting an image of the definitive Christmas movie nearly two weeks before Halloween? Because we're asking Creighton to reflect ahead of the holiday season. We're planning to It's-a-Wonderful-Life Creighton University, and we want to hear from you. How do you think your own life would have been different if Creighton had never existed? Please send your reflections to Micah at micahmertes@creighton.edu.
