THE XAVIER WAY
ALL FOR ONE
ONE FOR ALL
OUR MISSION
OUR CAMPUS
OUR STUDENTS
As a Jesuit Catholic university, we’re called to a higher
standard—to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives
of those around us. The Xavier story is about being
part of something larger than one’s self. It’s about an
institutional commitment and culture to serve others and
contribute to the greater good. At Xavier, we’ve been
changing lives since 1831. We offer nothing less than a
better education for a better world.
Stroll the Xavier campus and you’ll discover a blend of
castle-like fortresses with a stunning flourish of gleaming
contemporary spaces. Collectively, it’s all designed for a
single purpose: the academic and social education of our
students. Architecturally, it’s a fascinating collection of
spaces and places worthy of a second look. Here’s some of
what you can find:
‚‚The oldest building on campus Hinkle
Hall (circa 1919), is a three-story TudorGothic structure with turrets modeled after
the Xavier family castle in Navarre, Spain.
‚‚Alter Hall is the main classroom building
on campus and undergoing an extensive
renovtion designed to improve learning.
When completed in 2015, it will
feature high-tech classrooms, match the
architectural style of the other buildings
along the Academic Mall and support
Xavier’s commitment to sustainable
environments.
‚‚Medieval gargoyles adorn Albers Hall.
‚‚Bellarmine Chapel has a striking
roof-line in the shape of a hyperbolic
paraboloid.
‚‚A 200-pound solid brass perpetual
Foucault pendulum swings from the
ceiling of Lindner Hall, the physics
building located along “Science Row.”
‚‚Xavier built Bishop Fenwick Place, a
245,000-square-foot apartment complex,
in 2010 so students could live at the heart
of campus.
‚‚The Hoff Dining Commons not only
keeps students well fed, but includes a
green roof for sustainability.
‚‚The Gallagher Student Center includes the
bookstore, a food court and space for students to be
themselves.
When the Jesuits first started educating people in the
16th century, they had this idea that education should
be well-rounded and inspire curiosity. So that if you’re
studying to be a biochemist, say, you can still talk about
literature. And so you’re no stranger to philosophy, even
if business is more your bag. Today, that concept still
works at Xavier—the sixth-oldest Catholic university in
America.
Our students—each an individual within this overall
enterprise we call Xavier—pull together their collective
experiences and push the University to ever-growing
heights.
OUR METHOD
The Jesuit tradition calls for the education of the whole
person, the importance of critical thinking, a commitment
to social justice and adherence to the highest standards of
scholarship and ethics. We deliver on that promise with a
degree of individual attention that large public universities
cannot match, academic programs that consistently earn
high national rankings, a graduation rate that is No. 1 in
the Midwest, and some of the country’s best rates for job
and graduate school placements.
