As a centre of teaching, learning and research activity, StFX University is committed to fostering engaged citizenship and advancing a just and sustainable community. StFX University’s Strategic Plan: Building Our University the Way it is Meant to Be guides us and aligns our efforts to put this commitment into real action.

We continue to make progress since we have launched StFX’s Strategic Plan. Living Our Values is an initiative focused on recognizing and celebrating StFX employees who bring our institutional Strategic Plan values to life through their work.
