Visiting Scholars
The Visiting Scholars Program is a unique opportunity for faculty, scholars, and professionals to share their insight and research with first-year college students. Visiting Scholars are invited to the Honors Scholars Community to share personal and professional passions in an interactive way. No two visits are the same. Scholars may give a lecture, host a dinner discussion, show a film, or play a game. Visiting Scholars are partners in creating an interactive out-of-the-classroom learning experience that is rewarding for students and scholars alike.
Community Engagement
The Visiting Scholars program allows guests to give to the Creighton community by sharing knowledge, insight, and inspiration with first-year Honors students.

The Visiting Scholars Suite is located on the 9th floor of Swanson Hall and has a great view of St. John's Parish and downtown Omaha. Additionally, Swanson Hall is just a short walk from TD Ameritrade baseball park, the Qwest Center, and Omaha's Old Market District.
Comfortable Accommodations
