Harper Center Serves as Front Door
Mission Statement Vision Statement
The Mike and Josie Harper Center for Student Life and Learning serves as the new front door to Creighton’s east campus, making it the first stop for new and current students, alumni and visitors.
Its combination of academic areas and student services makes the Harper Center unique among universities in the Midwest. Some of its most notable features are: a nearly 500-seat auditorium, designed to allow faculty to bring classes together for special presentations, lectures and conferences as well as a venue for films; the campus bookstore; high-tech multi-tiered classrooms; an alumni grill; a fitness center; and ballroom. More than 16 University academic and student services offices are located in the Harper Center including the Mutual of Omaha Center for Health and Counseling, the Office of Admissions, Student Support Services, the Creighton Career Center and more. Take an online tour.
The center was made possible through an initial gift from an anonymous donor and augmented by the generosity of the Harper Family Foundation and other Creighton benefactors. The building is named for Charles M. “Mike” Harper and his late wife, Josie Harper. More on the benefactors.
