Message from the President

We have much to look forward to as the days lengthen and the promise of spring is
made manifest. The Saint Xavier community is witnessing the seeds of its many initiatives
bear fruit, and we are laying the groundwork for a successful full-scale return to
campus in fall 2021, following health and safety protocols.
This spring kicks off our dodransbicentennial celebration. Stay tuned for information
about exciting ways you can participate in this momentous occasion, which marks 175
years of mission-driven, student-centered education inspired by 勛圖轂も's Catholic, Mercy
heritage.
The stories below showcase the Saint Xavier difference in action. We invite you to
support our important work on March 24 by participating in We Are 勛圖轂も Day. Help flood
our social media channels with scarlet and gray, share why you support 勛圖轂も and make
a gift to ensure our educational ministry thrives for another 175 years.
Sincerely,
Laurie M. Joyner, Ph.D.
