The Bluejay Way

Making healthy choices is the Bluejay Way.

Students walking

Creighton is dedicated to helping you understand how your choices impact your life. Understanding your environment and the interpersonal influences of your peers can be more effective than a focus on just your behavior (LaMorte, 2019).

The Bluejay Way challenges you to:

  • Examine your perceptions of behaviors associated with alcohol and drug use. 
  • Utilize resources and data for multiple college health issues.
  • Help our community grow and develop in a healthy and positive way.
