A Message from the Dean of Students
Dear Xavier Students:
A hallmark of a Jesuit University education is the personal care of the individual. At Xavier, the focus is on you, and who you choose to become through the use of your talents, skills, and experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. You have the opportunity to achieve successes that will have a profound impact on your life long after you graduate. This is the power of "X."
Your total Xavier education will provide you with the acquisition of knowledge, leadership skills, and experiences that impact the communities where you live and work. Xavier will challenge you to seek new and exciting options, to become involved in the University community, and to engage in service with the communities beyond the campus. You have a support system that will help you meet and exceed your own expectations. It is advised that you take advantage of as many opportunities as possible while you are a Xavier student but to also recognize that it is important to maintain a healthy balance of attention to mind, spirit, and body.
Every Xavier student is a representative and ambassador for the University. Expectations, policies, and the code of student conduct found in the Student Handbook have been established to assure respect for oneself and others. Students are held accountable for inappropriate behavior both on-campus and off-campus and there are consequences to unwise decisions and choices if a student is found to be responsible for violations. It is the responsibility of each Xavier student to be familiar with the contents of the Student Handbook. The fact that you are registered for classes at Xavier obligates your adherence to the Code of Student Conduct.
It is my hope that your total Xavier University experience is marked by many successes. Please know that my office extends an on-going invitation to assist you in any way possible. You and the community benefit when a choice is made to support our common values.
Best wishes for a successful year!
Sincerely,
Dean of Students
