"With attention to the student as an individual, Jesuit education seeks to develop ... a sense of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit."

–from the Xavier University Mission Statement

With the belief that healthy living optimizes our students' capacities for success, Xavier provides comprehensive resources for the promotion and maintenance of physical and emotional health.

An active Wellness Team promotes and coordinates a wide range of health-promoting activities across the campus. The facilities and activities offered through the O'Connor Sports Center provide many opportunities for fitness, including organized recreational and intramural sports programs.

Xavier offers comprehensive medical, psychological and counseling services of the highest quality. Students living away from home use the McGrath Health and Counseling Center for their primary care. The center also administers the Xavier-sponsored student health insurance plan. Additional care is available at the psychological services center.
