For years, Cassidy Nipp met her friend Fr. Larry Gillick, SJ—“Fr. G,” as she affectionately calls him—for weekly runs around the Kiewit Fitness Center track. 🏃♀️
As they ran, they talked about everything: faith, nursing school, struggles, joy and the life lessons in between.
Those runs came to reflect Cassidy’s entire Creighton experience—where education, clinical training, service and spirituality all moved in step. Her faith and physical fitness found common ground, each strengthening the other.
Today, Cassidy is making a difference as a pediatric nurse at Children’s Nebraska, bringing the values she lived at Creighton into every patient interaction.
“At Creighton, I learned what it means to truly see another human being in their totality,” she says. “To honor them. To embrace them.” 💙

Every day at Creighton, Cassidy Nipp walked with the Jesuits spiritually. Sometimes she jogged with them.
