University’s Laudato Sí Action Plan: Reflections and Plan Development  \n“Since everything is closely interrelated, and today’s problems call for a vision capable of taking into account every aspect of the global crisis, I suggest that we now consider some elements of an integral ecology, one which clearly respects its human and social dimensions.”(Pope Francis, Laudato Sí, \\#137)  \n“Nature cannot be regarded as something separate from ourselves or as a mere setting in which we live. We are part of nature, included in it and thus in constant interaction with it. . . . We are faced not with two separate crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one complex crisis which is both social and environmental.”(Laudato Sí, \\# 139)  \n“A sense of deep communion with the rest of nature cannot be real if our hearts lack tenderness, compassion and concern for our fellow human beings. . . . Concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human beings and an unwavering commitment to resolving the problems of society.”(Laudato Sí, \\#91)  \nSince the beginning of 2022, Xavier University has embarked upon a process of communal discernment about how to convert these words of Pope Francis into action. The Xavier community has reflected upon how our educational mission, including our Strategic Plan for the future, and the goals of Pope Francis’s Laudato Sí Action Platform converge and mutually support each other. As will be described in more detail below, Xavier students, faculty, and staff came together in multiple meetings over two years to discern how we could concretely move the University forward on the path towards robust sustainability in the spirit of integral ecology. Out of our meetings, not only did we come to see more clearly how our educational mission and the goals of the Action Platform are aligned, but we also identified concrete steps to take to increase awareness in our community of the ecological crisis and to respond to it with personal, communal, and institutional resources.  \nXavier University’s mission, vision, and values  \nXavier’s mission is “to educate each student intellectually, morally and spiritually. We create learning opportunities through rigorous academic and professional programs integrated with co-curricular engagement. In an inclusive environment of open and free inquiry, we prepare students for a world that is increasingly diverse, complex and interdependent. Driven by our commitment to educating the whole person, promoting the common good, and serving others, the Xavier community challenges and supports all our members as we cultivate lives of reflection, compassion and informed action.”  \nXavier University’s vision is that “Xavier men and women become people of learning and reflection, integrity and achievement, in solidarity for and with others.”  \nAs a Jesuit Catholic institution, we promote the Jesuit values of reflection, discernment, solidarity, service rooted in justice and love, cura personalis, and magis. As a community, we strive always to advance goodness for all of creation and to glorify God by our decisions.
