The liberal arts emphasis at Saint Xavier made it the perfect place to continue learning more about mathematics, philosophy and literature. I’ve met a wide range of people, which has helped me learn more about the world and make some great connections.
Hi, my name is Marissa Ramirez and I am a Secondary Education Social Sciences major at SXU. I am also the captain on the Women's Bowling Team and the President of the Education Club. My favorite aspect of SXU is the diversity and the kindness of everyone on campus.
