| Winter '11 |
 As we begin the New Year, there is much to be excited about and much to be accomplished.
We thank you for your involvement and support this past year. It is greatly appreciated. Because of you, the Women of Excellence contributed significantly to our Xavier family and our community. We hosted eight events for our young and young-at-heart alumnae in the arts, athletics, entertainment and business; more than 100 mentors helped guide our Xavier student mentees; and nearly $60,000 was donated through our Giving Circle grant program to support nine amazing projects.
One of our primary goals in 2011 is to expand membership and contributions to our circle of women. We ask each of you to reach out to a friend, colleague or family member to encourage them join the Women of Excellence and support our events, mentoring program and contribute to the Giving Circle. To better understand the impact your contribution can make, be sure to watch the video below featuring the Xavier Mentoring Program.
We look forward to the coming year. Remember, the tradition begins with you!
