“To #BeABluejay means being part of a community that is intentional. The connections here feel thoughtful and real, and there’s a shared commitment to showing up for one another. It’s the kind of environment where you feel supported, challenged and valued all at the same time.”

When Rishika Kuntamukkla was looking for a college, she wanted a place that would challenge her academically and help her grow into the person she was meant to be. That was Creighton. “I wanted a school that focuses on who you’re becoming, not just what you accomplish,” she says. This growth feels shared, she adds, because she is surrounded by people who want her to succeed.

The junior neuroscience major has also found a place where she can pursue her many interests— and develop a few new ones! “There is honestly so much to get involved in. It doesn’t feel impossible to step into things either,” she says, “If you’re interested, you can find a way to start building your place here.”

For Rishika, Creighton is ultimately about relationships: “The people you meet in classes, activities and everyday moments become the ones who shape your experience.”
