GREETINGS INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS!
We welcome you to Xavier University (XULA), New Orleans, Louisiana and to the United States. Regardless of your native land, once you enrolled or joined our research faculty, you became a valued member of the XULA Community. The Center for Intercultural and International Programs (CIIP) strives to make your experience a positive one by providing comprehensive support to international students. As international students, you play a valuable role in our goal to expand XULA’s borders beyond the United States. We encourage you to take full advantage of opportunities to participate in XULA and New Orleans activities. Your involvement contributes to the rich diversity of the community and enhances the development of greater appreciation for different cultures and peoples. Orientation activities are scheduled at the beginning of each semester to ease your adjustment to the XULA way of life. Should you have questions or need assistance, the office staff is here to serve you. We are located in St. Joseph Academic and Health Center, Room 312.
