About Us
Mission:
We facilitate students' social integration into--and sense of belonging to--the University. Through experiential learning, we assist students as they identify their passions, develop a sense of purpose, and establish the skills necessary to make a difference. Driven by our commitment to cura personalis, we provide support services to enhance students' wellbeing and to allow them to take full advantage of the learning opportunities offered at Xavier.
Vision:
Student Affairs launches graduates into the world who promote the common good, lead rewarding and healthy lives and achieve success in their community and workplace.
What we do:
Student Affairs provides students a transformative student life experience. Through participation in leadership, community building, wellness services, service and justice, and identity and faith formation initiatives, students develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits to be successful on campus and after graduation. The student life experience integrates students into the Xavier community and assists them as they author pathways through the University towards their goals.
Background:
Research demonstrates that the opportunities and services Student Affairs offers Xavier students-high-impact learning experiences, mentoring relationships, wellness services, and community engagement-result in persistence and post-graduate success. Given the significance of our work to students and the University, we are seeking to:
- Diversify and increase the percentage of students engaging in student life and proactively utilizing Student Affairs' services
- Guide students' engagement-through Student Affairs and across the University-to increase persistence, post-graduate success and to maximize our limited resources
- Generate resources and manage liability and compliance to ensure Xavier's wellness
- Support and develop our people to achieve our goals
