Xavier Family Conversations
Xavier Family Conversations is a virtual series designed to connect parents and families with the people, programs, and resources that support students throughout their Xavier experience.
Each conversation will feature a campus office or partner and focus on a topic that matters to students and their families. Families will have the opportunity to learn more about available resources, hear directly from Xavier staff, and gain practical ways to support their student while encouraging independence.
Sessions will also include time for family questions, and participants can submit questions in advance during registration.
