John P. Fahey Career Center
Career success is part of the Creighton experience.
At Creighton University, career development isn't something you begin thinking about your senior year. Instead, it's intentionally woven throughout your college experience—from your first semester through graduation. You’ll have access to career advising, personalized guidance, hands-on experiences and a campus-wide network of faculty, advisors, alumni and employers committed to helping you launch your future.
The John P. Fahey Career Center leads Creighton's campus-wide career ecosystem. Our mission is simple: Help every student discover purpose, develop career-ready skills and confidently pursue meaningful opportunities after graduation

Meet our namesake.
The John P. Fahey Career Center was named in honor of John P. Fahey, JD ’71, by his brother, former Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey, in recognition of the lifelong support, guidance and inspiration he provided. A Creighton School of Law graduate and Omaha attorney, John Fahey built a career grounded in service, leadership and mentorship.
“Throughout my entire life, my brother has provided me with never-ending, unconditional love and support. My debt to my brother is one that I will never be able to repay. I am grateful to have the opportunity to show him a small token of my appreciation by naming the Creighton University Career Center in his honor.”
— Hon. Michael G. Fahey, BA’73, Mayor, City of Omaha, 2001–2009
