Living Our Values

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. On this page, you can find updates and stories from across the university that showcase how the strategic plan is being brought to life.

If you are a member of the StFX community and would like to share your strategic plan-related initiatives with the rest of the university, please contact us. This site will regularly feature the great work being done on campus to support and advance the strategic plan.
