Syllabi Resources

We are Xavier Musketeers-All for One and One for all. As members of the Xavier University community, the Jesuit value of Cura Personalis invites us care for others recognizing the uniqueness and wholeness of each person and their situation. As such, we each share a personal responsibility to express concern for one another and to ensure that this classroom and the campus community remains a healthy and safe environment for learning.

To that end, as a student, you may experience a range of challenges that can interfere with learning, such as strained relationships, physical or mental health issues, death of a loved one, increased anxiety, substance use, feeling down, difficulty concentrating/or lack of motivation, food or housing insecurity, etc. These concerns or stressful events may diminish your academic performance and/or reduce your ability to participate in daily activities. Resources and services are available at Xavier and are listed below. 

You may also find yourself in a situation in which you come across a fellow classmate whose personal behavior concerns or worries you, either for the classmate’s well-being or yours. When either situation is the case, I encourage you to share this information with me for resource information and potential accommodations. You are also encouraged to report this information via Xavier’s Student of Concern form:  https://one.xavier.edu/students/.  The form is on the Student Hub and is in the middle of the page next to Events.

For any student who facing challenges securing food or housing and believes this may affect their performance in the course, you are urged to contact  Angie Kneflin, Care Management Coordinator in the Dean of Students Office, or Cindy Stieby, X-PATH Coordinator through the e-mail thestore@xavier.edu.  This will enable you to utilize The Store, Xavier’s Food Pantry on campus. The store is open on Fridays in gazebo area of the Village apartments from 3pm-5pm or by appointment through Cindy or Angie. Furthermore, please notify me if you are comfortable doing so.  This will enable me to provide additional resource information and discuss potential accommodations.
