Poppa was a rollin' stone...

When you begin college you can never be real sure of the challenges to face you. Of course you know about the biology, chemistry, math, history and english you have to take but what about the dynamics of sleeping in a strange place, eating cafeteria food, family that miss you and worry. And of course your colleagues of all shapes, sizes and lunacy. These are unknowns seemingly trivial but all can effect your outcome. If you are not one to persevere then your chances of completing your program decrease significantly. Patient perseverance has been my motto, and never before have the challenges been greater in my life. Remember when the challenges were simpler? Listen to Poppa!



Teddy...hope you're resting well...we miss you!

Recruitment Day in the XULA University Center

From Xavier

The University Center (UC) was teaming for two hours with teachers, administrators, parents and students looking to see what Xavier has to offer to the prospective college student for this summer and the coming Fall 2007 semester. Our Chemistry Department as well as other Departments at the university invited prospects to view literature and take tours of their departments and the Xavier campus.

From Xavier

The Chemistry Department engaged some of our most enthusiastic and accomplished majors, who are moving into their 2nd or 3rd year, to lead students around campus and discuss the ins and outs of being a chem major at Xavier. Students and faculty in chemistry were glad to share information with so many curious visitors with interests in pursuing degrees in pharmacy, chemistry, biology and physics.
