Learning with Purpose

Student Engagement at
Saint Xavier University

Welcome to Saint Xavier University!

We are proud to share our 2007 National Survey of Student Engagement Benchmarks. They show Saint Xavier students feel actively engaged in challenging academic activities with guidance from accessible faculty and a supportive campus environment that helps them attain personal and professional goals.

Saint Xavier is one of just 32 universities and colleges across the country to have participated in NSSE every year since its inception in 1999-2000. There are now 610 institutions participating. After looking through our benchmarks, I hope you take a moment to follow the link back to our home page to see all that Saint Xavier has to offer.

Sincerely,

Judith A. Dwyer, Ph.D. 
President
