Commencement
Celebrating the Class of 2024
During commencement weekend, the Creighton community celebrated the Class of 2024 and welcomed them into the growing Creighton Alumni community of over 80,000. Nearly 2,000 graduates were honored for their achievements across eight commencement ceremonies. It was a time for our graduates to reflect on their time at Creighton while family and friends looked on and supported their Bluejays.
Now, the Class of 2024 is officially ready to soar as alumni, whether in careers, service programs or advanced education.
To learn more about the extraordinary Class of 2024, visit our News Center commencement article.
Diplomas of May graduates will be mailed in mid-June. View Commencement Resources for more.
