Peace & justice programs at Xavier University seek to educate, empower and affirm a community interested in building a more compassionate, just world through social action and community service. Working in cooperation with all areas of campus life, the program serves the university community as a meeting point celebrating the Jesuit call for service of faith and the promotion of justice.

Dorothy Day House, located on Xavier's campus, has become a home for many Xavier students. Several student peace and justice organizations have a place to gather, plan activities, talk, make friends and relax. This program supports a revolution of values that will help solve conflict in more humane ways.

Peace and justice programs help students, staff and faculty envision not a perfect world, but a better one. Using spiritual and intellectual resources, the programs work toward global economic justice, basic human rights, a culture of non-violence, and a more orderly and humane way of making decisions on an international level. For a discussion of current events and the programs' vision, see Fr. Ben Urmston's web page.

"The greatest challenge of the day is how to bring about a revolution of the heart." —Dorothy Day
