Director's Note
February has been a busy month with career-related activities, including the upcoming Spring Career Fair and Diversity Reception that helps students find jobs, summer internships and co-ops. Please encourage your son or daughter to take advantage of this important networking opportunity Feb. 23.
In addition to the core responsibility of providing you with guidance for your student's experiences throughout college, I also raise money for the Parents Annual Fund from current and past parents of Xavier. Making a contribution to the Parents Annual Fund directly benefits students by enabling them to experience a wide variety of opportunities outside the classroom-from club sports, the shuttle to Newport on the Levee, spiritual retreats, alternative breaks to the free movies at Gallagher Student Center. All these activities and more are financially supported by the Parents Annual Fund.
If you have already contributed, thank you. If not, please consider doing so by visiting www.xavier.edu/parentgiving to support your student's experience at Xavier.
Go X,
Dianne Burns Fisk
Executive Director, Office of Parent Relations

Institutional Research
Freshmen participated in a University survey entitled "Beginning College Survey of Student Engagement" during Manresa. Read the results of the query. As follow-up, students will be asked this spring to participate in a similar survey to assess how their expectations have been met.
