Here’s what you need to do:
Inspired by Creighton’s Ignatian value of cura personalis, or "care for the whole person," the Creighton Mentor Community virtually connects students one-on-one with alumni mentors to enhance the student experience. Each mentor offers the perspective of someone who has walked a similar path and can provide guidance throughout a student’s discernment process. Together, mentors and mentees determine how often to connect (generally at least once a month), which communication method works best and the topics to discuss. The program runs through one academic year and concludes in May, although mentors and mentees are welcome to stay connected beyond the end of the school year.
“Creighton is setting me up for success in the future through all the amazing resources they provide. I am confident in my resume that the Career Center and I built. I utilize my advisors and go to them for advice, questions and even just to talk.”
