“To #BeABluejay means pushing yourself to grow while supporting the people around you. It’s about using your opportunities to make a real impact and lead with purpose.”

Sai Alavala wanted an expansive college experience, one that would introduce him to new people, help him gain fresh perspectives and prepare him for a future medical career. Creighton delivered on all counts.

“After touring, the strong advising and support system made me feel like my journey truly mattered,” he says. “And it’s a place where students are collaborative rather than competitive.”

He says he’s drawn to Creighton’s “culture of service that shapes both academics and campus life.” A biology major who is also minoring in justice and peace studies and applied ethics, Sai has woven service into his college experience. He’s a CNA at a rehab center, tutors fellow biology students, volunteers in pediatric wards and is involved with the Schlegel Center for Service and Justice (creighton_scsj).

Sai, like many students, loves being involved: “Creighton is not just about academics; there’s a real emphasis on purpose, reflection and make an impact beyond campus.”
