Leading Xavier into its Third CenturyÂ
President Colleen Hanycz approaches leadership as an act of discernment—listening carefully, naming challenges clearly, and acting with resolve. At Xavier, her vision is centered on the greater good: strengthening academic excellence, deepening human formation, and stewarding the institution with discipline and care.
Through Xavier 200, she is guiding the University into its third century with a clear conviction—that a stronger, more inclusive, and more forward‑looking Xavier is built by holding clarity, courage, and care in equal measure.
Guided by the four curas, Xavier 200 aligns academic ambition, care for the whole person, inclusive belonging, and disciplined stewardship to form students and strengthen the institution for its third century.
When we ask students to lead bigger lives, we must be willing to take bigger swings. President Hanycz’s vision calls Xavier to invest boldly through a historic $500M campaign—ensuring our mission, community, and promise to form people for others endures for generations.
