By our fruits you will know us

In the final analysis, you must judge Xavier, as the world does, by the value of a Xavier degree, certifying that we have groomed you for extraordinary leadership and to be a well-rounded citizen of the world.

As a Xavierite, you, too, will bear the stamp of the University’s commitment to personal guidance, character-building, and practical preparation through programs like GradStar/Excel, our proactive approach to getting our students ready for the rigors of graduate school.

And because Xavier has a fully-staffed placement office, you will have a head start beginning your career. In recent years, our graduates have taken employment by our fruits, you will know us at places such as Shell Oil, the Environmental Protection Agency, Polaroid, Microsoft Software, and The Wall Street Journal. They’ve also started their own businesses and pursued service-oriented careers.

As Class of ’86 alumnus Ellen Hazeur, New Orleans Clerk of Court and former Councilwoman, expresses it: “Xavier stirs something at your core that keeps reminding you that you can achieve, and that there is nothing strange about trying to do big things.”

Most importantly, our graduates carry to every corner of the globe that indomitable Xavier spirit.
