SUPPORTING & PARTNERING WITH CREIGHTON STUDENT-ATHLETES
A kind heart, an open mind, and a strong purpose work together as a personal and communal
triumvirate: all three are essential to becoming one’s strongest self and to creating community.
Named after one of Creighton University’s seven core values, Heart Mind Soul was created to
provide innovative ways for Blue Jay student-athletes to develop into community leaders and
become strong Jesuit role models and ambassadors for the alumni and fans who look up to them
on and off the court and field. Every student-athlete that has ever donned a Creighton University
uniform understands that they carry with them the great tradition of generations of those that
have come before them. The supporters of Heart Mind Soul believe that Creighton student-
athletes are destined to do amazing things, and are committed to working tirelessly to ensure that
every current and future Blue Jay has the opportunity to leverage the power of their name, image
and likeness to build a brighter future for everyone they touch.
