Read Today, Lead Tomorrow: Home
Read Today, Lead Tomorrow is a five-year campus-wide initiative designed to enable students at Xavier to become more active and engaged readers and to ultimately enhance the reading culture on our campus and in our community. Beginning in the fall of 2010, a variety of programs and activities will give our students, staff, faculty, and neighbors opportunities to use reading as a means of better understanding our world. Read Today, Lead Tomorrow is a grand undertaking; however, we feel confident that through this initiative, we will transform the intellectual climate in our classrooms, on our campus, and in our community.
