Musketeers Grieve Together
Student Affairs created a Facebook group as a space to share stories from all corners of our Xavier community about how the coronavirus is impacting our lives, our families and our communities. All for one and one for all is not just for times of joy, but also for times of sadness, anxiety, and despair. Know that as you grieve, your Xavier family is grieving with you. Post pictures and stories of your loved ones. Share impact on your family or community. Memorialize those you have lost. Support each other's stories. Visit the link above to join, and share with others you know in our Xavier family. All for one and one for all.
