Multicultural Community
Students at Xavier represent a wide variety of racial, ethnic and religious groups, each bringing unique experiences and perspectives to campus. This diversity helps fulfill Xavier’s mission of forming students intellectually, morally and spiritually. Xavier is dedicated to enhancing such diversity among its faculty and staff, and to embracing a multicultural learning environment.
Multicultural Visit opportunities
Xavier offers two overnight programs geared specifically for students of color:
Discover X - is a fall program for inquiring high school seniors.
Destination X - is for accepted students in the spring and includes attending Spring Preview day.
Both events allow students to participate in campus activities, meet faculty and staff, see Cincinnati attractions and experience residence life.
