Describe our Big Hawk Program
Each young man entering his freshman year is assigned a junior or senior who serves as a mentor (a Big Hawk) and helps welcome him into the Xaverian community. Starting with Freshman Day of Awareness and continuing throughout the year, each freshman is provided an opportunity to meet with his Big Hawk formally and informally. Not only does this significantly lower anxiety and time spent learning the community, it has also led to great friendships. All Big Hawks go through extensive training and are selected through an application process.
