Alumnae for Change

About.

We are current and former students of Xavier College Preparatory in Phoenix, AZ and we invite you to join us in our mission. We seek to cultivate an atmosphere of equity and inclusion at the school. What does this mean? We believe young minds must be offered curriculum that exposes them to the rich variability of the many cultures and histories present in society. We believe to fully meet this end, curriculum must pay tribute to racial injustices that intertwine these histories. Ultimately, the goal of these efforts is to enhance the formation of young minds set to lead our future world. To start, we propose the following actions items:

integrate anti-racism articles and books to the curricula of Xavier theology, history and English departments
undertake a third-party, holistic review of Xavier's current equity and inclusion practices
host speakers to present perspectives on racial injustice
add professional development for faculty and staff on anti-racism and implicit bias
encourage and facilitate students of color to form affinity groups with an invitation for allies
foster a more connected dialogue between alumnae and the school community to focus on continuous improvement

We are passionate advocates for the quality of education at our alma mater and believe institutions like Xavier have a great responsibility and opportunity to lead in equity and inclusion practices in our communities.

If you are involved in the Xavier community and are curious about this cause, please read our petition and consider signing on.

If you are involved in another Catholic preparatory school community and would like help in making an impact on your campus, please reach out to us.

Together, we can be a powerful force.
