Saint Xavier University
Saint Xavier University, founded by the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas who continue to sponsor the University through the Conference for Mercy Higher Education, is an independent, Catholic, comprehensive University offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees to a diverse population of over 5,000 students.
Saint Xavier University signifies and celebrates its Catholic and Mercy heritage in its symbolic, sacramental, and liturgical expressions, and in its communal and collegial ethos. The University offers many opportunities to reflect, pray, worship, and access the sacraments. It symbolizes its rich faith tradition through the appropriate placement of religious symbols and artwork. Further, it observes liturgical seasons and feasts central to its Catholic and Mercy heritage, and provides orientation and mentoring programs that educate the community about this identity.
Mission
Crafted through a process that engaged the Saint Xavier’s many constituents, and approved by the Board of Trustees in 2005, this Mission Statement succinctly states the purpose of the University. It identifies both why and for whom Saint Xavier University exists.
Vision
Saint Xavier University’s educational mission is set in the context of and informed by its Catholic identity and Mercy heritage. The purpose of the Vision of the University’s Catholic and Mercy Identity Statement, adopted in 2008, is twofold: First, it describes how a Saint Xavier University education is informed by these traditions and identities; and second, it sets forth how the University aspires to be Catholic and Mercy in all areas of its academic and communal life.
