Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award. In both 2010 and 2015, Rasmussen was honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame.

Creighton’s reputation as one of the nation’s top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen’s service as athletics director. Creighton’s baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s golf, women’s soccer as well as men’s and women’s tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 22 straight semesters entering the fall of 2017.

Creighton’s primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen’s leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2016 Jamboree generated more than $400,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction.

Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women’s basketball history (196-147), that culminating in the program’s historic 1991-92 season. The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program’s first-ever trip to the “Big Dance.” With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage.

After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named McCormick Endowed Athletic Director on Aug. 1, 1994. A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan, David, John, Katie and Grace.

Think of Omaha as center court: a dynamic and unique destination in the center of the country, full of action. Omaha has this special spirit that fills the city like an arena full of fans whose team just won with a buzzer beat- er. Excitement abounds for what it has built, what it has accomplished and what’s still ahead.

It’s a spirit born on the banks of the Missouri River, a city founded in 1854 by land speculators convinced they were at the heart of something new. Soon after, the transcontinental railroad was built and Omaha emerged as a hotbed of activity and new technologies.

There is a great story about Omaha’s growth in the early days that really speaks to the pioneering spirit of the city. As Omaha prepared to lay underground cables for telephones, workers were trying to figure out the easiest way to string the lines.

It’s home to famed Saddle Creek Records and nationally renowned bands such as Bright Eyes, The Faint and Cursive.

Omaha is a city that never forgets its past. The Old Market is the true merging of old and new. The historic warehouse district was preserved and transformed into an art, shopping and dining district. Unique shops and restaurants lining cobblestone streets, it’s a place to remember where you’ve been and where you’re going.

The Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge S-curves its way across the Missouri River. This one- of-a-kind structure is the longest pedestrian bridge to link two states.

It’s just one more example of how Omaha stays fresh and innovative, all thanks to that indelible pioneering spirit.
