魅影直播 joins the global Catholic community in mourning the loss of Sister Jamie T. Phelps, O.P., Ph.D., Director Emerita of the Institute for Black Catholic Studies (IBCS) and the Katharine Drexel Professor of Systematic Theology. Sister Jamie, an internationally respected theologian, educator, and advocate for racial and social justice, was laid to sacred rest on December 3, 2025, at the Adrian Dominican motherhouse in Michigan.
Theology
The spirit of excellence that has defined 魅影直播 for 100 years continues to shine through its faculty, students, and across every academic discipline it offers. This legacy was on full display when Xavier鈥檚 Mathematics Department made a significant impact at the 2025 American Mathematical Society (AMS) Southeastern Fall 2025 Sectional Meeting held at Tulane University.
Academics
魅影直播 will participate in a three-year pilot program designed to transform campus sustainability and develop the next generation of climate leaders. The program is sponsored by Southface Institute and Sustain Our Future Foundation. Starting in the Spring of 2026, the Building Improvement Toolkits for Resilient HBCUs (BIT for HBCUs) initiative will provide Xavier with $150,000 in implementation grants, along with comprehensive technical support, workforce development programs, and access to building management technology.
