Residential Experience<br />
Each phase of living on campus at Creighton involves<br />
asking students intentional questions about themselves,<br />
their relationship to others and how to be impactful<br />
leaders within their community.<br />
Hall Staff<br />
Residential student staff are among the top student<br />
leaders on campus. These juniors and seniors live in the<br />
halls to interact with, mentor and care for freshmen and<br />
sophomore students. Additionally, each residence hall<br />
is supervised by a live-in student affairs professional.<br />
Each professional has earned a master’s degree and has<br />
experience and extensive training in the field.<br />
Living Learning Communities<br />
The Freshmen Leadership Program (FLP) focuses on<br />
challenging students to grow as leaders, to understand what<br />
leadership means to them and to implement leadership<br />
skills learned across campus and the city.<br />
The Honors Community provides students a challenging<br />
and innovative academic alternative to Creighton’s Magis<br />
Core, with individualized attention from top faculty mentors.<br />
The Cortina Living-Learning Community prepares students<br />
to connect their passion for social justice with their academic<br />
and future goals by challenging them to investigate social<br />
inequalities and difficult realities.<br />
Inter Residence Hall Government<br />
The Inter Residence Hall Government (IRHG) is the<br />
voice for all students living on campus. IRHG provides<br />
an excellent opportunity for students to gain valuable<br />
leadership experience by advocating for change, putting<br />
on events for the community, and writing legislation for<br />
facilities or policy changes.<br />
Academic Success Centers<br />
Located in each first year residence hall, Academic<br />
Success Centers provide a permanent home base<br />
for Academic Success Peer Mentors, senior students<br />
dedicated to helping first year-students make a smooth<br />
transition to Creighton academics. Academic Success<br />
Peer Mentors know how to address the stresses of<br />
first-year living because they learned to navigate it<br />
themselves. They’re passionate about supporting<br />
students. Resources offered include schedule making,<br />
study habits, tutoring, programming and much more.<br />
