The University of Nebraska joined the Big Ten Conference officially on July 1, 2011. In Omaha, Creighton University welcomes Timothy R. Lannon, S.J., as the 24Th President. It is return of sorts for Lannon, since he completed his undergraduate education at Creighton in 1973. I completed my undergraduate education at Creighton 25 years ago this year. Some great memories on the Hilltop. It is great to hear the campus is doing very well. A friend of our oldest daughter's received her degree in May from the College of Arts and Sciences.
Our niece will be a junior at Creighton in the Fall. Last night, our daughter, a student at the University of Northern Iowa, had her "Cage the Jays" shirt on.
This winter in men's basketball, Creighton and the Iowa Hawkeyes will play a non-conference game at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Last year, native Iowan Greg McDermott became Creighton's men's basketball coach.
Can you believe we are half way into 2011 already?
We want to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Independence Day holiday weekend. We especially want to thank our men and women who serve our Country keeping our American dream of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness alive.
