Xavier Student Sustainability
Xavier Student Sustainability (XSS) is a student program that was founded in the Dorothy Day Center for Faith and Justice, but has transformed into a student club. We serve to promote sustainability and uphold sustainable initiatives within the Xavier community and greater Cincinnati area, foster an environment where students can explore and learn about sustainable topics and practices, and engage in discussion with other students interested in sustainability. Membership is open to all Xavier students!
