Xavier University is a Laudato Si' University
President Hanycz committed Xavier University in late 2021 to participate in Pope Francis’ Laudato Si' Action Platform to boldly advance each of its seven goals. In 2022, Xavier’s Laudato Si' Steering Committee was formed. With broad representation from the Xavier community, a 10-member Steering Committee formed working groups involving more than 40 additional students, faculty, and staff.
