Graduate Recognition and Hooding Ceremony

We encourage you to invite as many family members and friends to both ceremonies.  Relatives and guests will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis and no reserved seating will be accommodated. All Creighton University and CenturyLink Omaha facilities are handicap accessible for guests with disabilities.  No tickets are needed for the ceremony.

Photographers will be capturing key moments in both ceremonies and guests will NOT be allowed to approach the stage as individual photos will be available for purchase afterwards through a web application.  The printed program at the ceremony includes degree candidate names, additional degrees earned and hometowns.  The online event booklet showcases degree candidates' family information, employment, career goals, and sentiments to family and friends.
