University Advancement

At Saint Xavier University, we believe education transforms lives and strengthens communities. Guided by our mission and united --Together in Mercy-- University Advancement builds meaningful relationships with alumni, donors, and friends who support our students and our future. 

Our impact is rooted in Illinois, where more than 90% of our students come from, and where many remain after graduation. The excellence of our graduates is evident across schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies throughout the region. 

Since our founding in 1846, Saint Xavier University has been committed to educating individuals often underrepresented in higher education, including women, people of color, first-generation, and economically disadvantaged students. Through alumni engagement, philanthropy, and strategic partnerships, we work to expand access, enhance the student experience, and advance academic innovation. 

Your support helps transform the lives of remarkable students and shape Saint Xavier's next chapter. Thank you for being an essential part of our community.
