Fritz Family Office of Cura Personalis Services
What is Cura Services?
The Fritz Family Office of Cura Personalis Services (Cura Services) connects students with personalized support when life gets complicated. Whether you're dealing with financial stress, navigating a personal challenge or simply looking for the right campus resources, Cura Services is here to help you find a path forward.
Inspired by the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, or care for the whole person, Cura Services recognizes that every student’s experience is unique. The team works with you to understand your situation and connect you with the support, resources and guidance you need to flourish at Creighton and beyond.
What does Cura Services do?
Cura Services team members meet one-on-one with students to talk through challenges and create a personalized plan based on their goals and needs. They can help you build practical life skills, connect with campus and community resources and navigate obstacles that may affect your well-being or success.
Students reach out to Cura Services for support with concerns such as:
- Difficulty adjusting to college or feeling disconnected from campus
- Financial concerns and budgeting
- Housing or food insecurity
- Family or relationship challenges
- Ongoing health or wellness concerns
- Questions about meal prepping and grocery shopping

Support for All
Cura Services is designed to support all students, not just those who are excelling or struggling. We help you navigate everyday challenges before they become bigger barriers, from getting involved on campus to managing your time or finances. Through one-on-one support, we work with you to create a plan that helps you move forward. We also equip you with skills and strategies to flourish at Creighton and beyond.
Work one-on-one with a case manager to set goals and stay on track.
Creighton’s case managers are a key part of Cura Services. They’re student affairs professionals who work with you one-on-one to help you set goals, create a plan and stay on track. Similar to case managers in healthcare or social services, they focus on helping you move forward, before challenges become crises.
Case managers are not clinical counselors or psychologists (those services are available through Student Counseling Services). Instead, they partner with you to define your goals, build accountability and connect you with the campus and community resources you need to succeed.
Creighton’s team members are proud members of the Higher Education Case Managers Association (HECMA).
What do case managers help with?
Case managers help with a wide range of things. They're here to be a starting point, an advocate, an organizer of support services and a partner on your journey. Check in with them for help with:
- Difficult conversations
- Challenges with family or friends
- Conflict with a roommate
- Needs related to injuries or illnesses
- Questions around faith or spirituality
- Alcohol and substance use
- Financial concerns/budgeting
- Loss of family members/close friends
- Mental health concerns
- Body image/disordered eating behaviors
- Nutrition and wellness
- Loneliness
- Goal setting
- Food/housing insecurity
We can help even if you’re unsure what questions to start with.

- Campus Living

Meet the Fritzes
Lance, HON’23, and Julie Fritz have a philanthropic commitment to wellness efforts in higher education. “We like that this is something where a huge portion of the student population will get to experience it every year,” said Julie Fritz. “It can benefit everyone if and when they need it. That makes it an extension of the community that Creighton represents, which helps students really feel like they’re a part of something and that they can make the connections they need.”
