National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference

We are excited to host The National Jesuit Student Leadership Conference at Xavier University. View the conference schedule and RSVP below.  Xavier NJSLC 2026 Queen City with a Jesuit Heart

This will be the second time we will host NJSLC since the conference began in 1997 at Regis University. The conference theme is a nod to how many fondly refer to our home in Cincinnati as “The Queen City.” Cincinnati was given this name in the early 19th century as a reference to its prosperity and geographical location between the east and west. Today, locals use this name to reflect a sense of pride in its culture, neighborly atmosphere, and big city amenities.
