Define your own road in life!
Thursday
, April 26th
7:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Creighton Rigge Science 120
Ever wondered where you’re headed in life?
How your passions can combine with your major to land you in the career of your dreams?
Well join us April 26th for a viewing of our documentary “Shed the Noise: An Interview Project.”
… This semester, 15 Creighton students interviewed people who have jobs they find interesting. In pooling the interviews, we made a documentary of the inspiring words of those people that have found their own road. Come watch to hear from leaders in the community who have resisted the noise of conformity and stayed true to themselves in finding their life’s work.
Learn how to make a life and not just a living! Check out the RoadTrip Nation website, join us for our viewing, or be part of the movement with our new group beginning in the Fall. http://roadtripnation.com/
Come join them, because they’re pretty sure you’re going to think it’s worth your time. (Plus, there are prizes.) Questions: Contact AllisonCorrigan@creighton.edu or klinden@creighton.edu.
Last week the Nebraska state legislature overrode the governor’s veto on the pre-natal care bill in Nebraska. The passage of this bill will provide care for over 1600 women and save the lives of hundreds of babies.
Join us in the CCSJ in the Harper Center to celebrate the passage of the bill with a baby shower this Thursday April 23, 2012 all day! There will be lots of baked goods, thank you card writing, and lots of happiness!
We need to thank our senators for their support of 599!

Creighton University African Student Association presents-
Ubuntu Africa Banquet: “I am because we are”
Saturday, April 21, 2012
6:oo pm – 8:30 pm
Skutt Student Center Ballroom
Ubuntu is traditional African philosophy that roughly translates to “I am who I am because we are.” It is the essence of a human being based on the self-assurances that comes from knowing that we belong to a greater whole. We invite you to experience the Ubuntu of Africa through cuisine, music, fashion, art and folklore. Micere Mugo, Ph.D., a renowned African activist, writer and academic, will present on the meaning of Ubuntu in a 21st century context.
The AFSA annual cultural banquet has come to be a tradition at Creighton University. Last year, the banquet was awarded “Undergraduate Event of the Year” by the Student Activities Office. We hope you will join us in making this year’s banquet even more successful.
Tickets: $10/student, $15/faculty, free/children under 5.
Tickets are being sold in Skutt EVERY day! Get yours today!
