Re: Creighton Campus Development
Kiewit Hall, the 9-story residence hall on the western side of campus, is scheduled for demolition next month. I think a large majority of people who have been freshman at Creighton over the last 50 years lived there, so it's sad to see it go. https://alumni.creighton.edu/kiewit-hall?utm_source=new...

Re: Kum & Go ---->>> Maverik
In order to align their program with Maverik (per their app update description), Kum & Go has removed the feature from the app that allows you to activate pump/pay from your phone. Obviously not a major thing, but still disappointing as I quite liked that feature.
