Division of Ignatian Belonging
More Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Social Justice for Greater Ignatian Belonging
At Xavier, we approach diversity and inclusion with compassion and innovation, seeking to lead the charge in inclusion, diversity, equity, accessibility and social justice (I.D.E.A.S.). We’re a culture of caring and support that extends beyond the individual and encompasses the community as a whole. The spirit of our Catholic and Jesuit heritage inspires us to create a unique sense of belonging, one that goes beyond the surface level and drives us to leave a legacy of impact. Our unique positionality inspires us to expand and deepen our application of I.D.E.A.S. as we reconcile historical injustices while building bridges toward our hope-filled future.
We call it Ignatian Belonging - a unique culture of radical care and support woven into every aspect of campus life. From our coursework to our extracurricular activities, we aim to develop graduates equipped to address the societal imbalances of injustice with faith, hope, justice, equality, equity and belonging.
Strategic Plan: More I.D.E.A.S for Greater Ignatian Belonging
The Division of Ignatian Belonging provides university-wide leadership to support the radical, inclusive care and development of our employees.
