Arts and Sciences Dean's Fellows seniors spent their fall break in Washington, D.C., where they explored institutions shaping our nation’s history and future, including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, the Holocaust Museum and MS NOW Studios.

A highlight of the trip was connecting with Creighton University Alumni whose careers span public policy, law, pharmaceuticals, sustainable development and international affairs. Through an alumni panel and reception, students gained valuable perspectives on professional pathways and the many ways a Creighton education can translate into meaningful work.

These conversations reflect the strength of our community: alumni who remain invested in the next generation and students who can learn from their experience as they prepare to make their own impact.

Our English majors and minors recently had the opportunity to learn from two alumni whose careers reflect the many paths an English degree can open.

Author Rebecca Schier-Akamelu joined students last semester at the Bookworm bookstore to discuss her debut novel, Negative Images, and her experience as a writer. Earlier this month, Dr. Todd Robinson, author of two poetry collections and an associate professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, returned to campus to discuss his time at Creighton, including writing for the Creightonian, and his path to becoming a published poet and an associate professor.

We’re thankful to Rebecca and Todd for sharing their time, experiences and advice with our students. These conversations help them see where their studies can lead and remind them of our supportive Creighton University Alumni community!

“As a student studying International Relations, being For and With Others means looking beyond my own experiences, listening and learning from everyone to better understand the perspectives of people whose lives are different from my own.”

Noah Schaefbauer, a senior studying international relations and French & Francophone studies, puts this approach into practice by supporting fellow students, participating in meaningful service and focusing his studies on social justice, global inequality and how institutions can better serve people.

Noah found that research, too, can be a way to be For and With Others. He spent his summer as a Creighton CURAS Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow studying Indigenous political participation in his home state of South Dakota, seeking to better understand the barriers Indigenous communities face and bring greater attention to experiences too often overlooked.

“Living for and with others has taught me to question the expectations I place on both other people and myself. I have learned that people do not always fit the roles or assumptions we assign to them. I grow most when I am willing to let those expectations go.”

College of Arts and Sciences students recently explored how art can offer new perspectives on healthcare through a Graphic Medicine exhibition at the Creighton University Lied Art Gallery.

Nurse, cartoonist and educator MK Czerwiec, a co-founder of Graphic Medicine, shared comics exploring illness, disability, caregiving and the emotions that can accompany them. The exhibition encouraged students to look beyond the clinical outcomes and consider the experiences and stories that shape each person’s healthcare journey.

Students also participated in workshops led by Czerwiec, creating their own art while reflecting on healthcare from different perspectives.

Creighton has always been home for Katie Huss, BS'02. When the opportunity came to return to Omaha, her first thought was, naturally, “We’re going home again.”

Through years of moves across the country, Katie stayed connected to the relationships she built at Creighton.

“I've maintained those relationships for several years now through lots of different moves,” Katie says. “Those friendships mean the world to me.”

Being back in Omaha, Katie is home again and surrounded by the people and community that have been a source of support from the beginning.
