Events

Community Action Days

Community Action Days are Xavier's largest service experience. Run through the Center for Faith and Justice (CFJ), they invite students, faculty, staff, and alumni to step off campus to learn from, grow with, and serve the communities that exist beyond our university. There is an emphasis on meaningful service along with reflection. The program seeks to spark compassion for connection. Sustainability-focused sites include:

• Evanston Community Council
• Gorman Heritage Farm
• Mill Creek Alliance
• NEXUS Community Garden and Urban Farm
• Wasson Way

 

Alternative Breaks

The Alternative Breaks program, also run by the CFJ, invites students to consider different spring break options designed to create a world of active citizens immersed in education, service, and reflection with a focus on social justice issues facing the world today. Sustainability-focused experiences include:

• The Rights and Welfare of Animals
• Simple Living and Appalachian Culture
• Conservation of Our Native Ecosystems
