As we navigate this chapter of unprecedented political polarization, never has the role of higher education been more critical. If we are not actively forming our students for lives of civic engagement and civil discourse, then we will have failed this generation of future leaders.

Activation Plan
Below is an overview of some campus activities:
- Xavier’s “Take It On” initiative, now in its fifth year, is intended to prepare students for civic engagement, emphasizing civil discourse across difference. TIO typically hosts several speaker events each year and runs workshops for students (sponsored by faculty) on pertinent topics. TIO will be especially active leading up to the General Election this fall with a strong emphasis on democratic responsibilities and engagement.
