Xaverian Leaders

At the Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership, we help students develop crucial skills so that they can achieve their own professional and academic goals.

It’s out of this commitment that the Frank McKenna Centre for Leadership developed the Xaverian Leaders Program.

The Xaverian Leaders program:

• Is a one-year program for all students (any discipline, any year);
• Provides free training on in-demand leadership skills—learn and get tips and advice from professionals, and let yourself be inspired by accomplished leaders;
• Offers participants priority access to a range of McKenna Centre events, including the McKenna Lectures, McKenna Scholar in Residence Events, and more;
• Allows students to work with a team of emerging student leaders, forge connections, and signal your leadership intentions and abilities to future employers.

The cornerstone of the program is two two-day symposia. These small conferences offer talks, workshops, and activities free of charge to all Xaverian Leaders students and are aimed at building competencies in key areas that are recognized as vital to professional and academic success, such as communication skills. They are designed to help students with professionalization and equip them with leadership skills as well as tips and tricks that will help them effectively organize around social and political causes, contribute to academic life, participate in public discourse, and stand out in a competitive job market.

Students who complete the program will receive an official certificate of completion and will be added to the Xaverian Leaders alumni database. Students can complete the Xaverian Leaders program in any of their years of study at StFX.
