Congratulations to the Pride of StFX Awards

The STFX Students’ Union was extremely excited to see the Pride of STFX Awards established this past Homecoming weekend as a collaborative effort between the Alumni Association and X-Pride. We would also like to congratulate the first winners of this incredible award, and the significant impact that their leadership has had on our Xaverian community.

We were deeply saddened by some of the recent comments made by an alumni in regard to this awards creation, however these only serve as a reminder of the work that there is still to do across the Xaverian community. There never was, and never will be tolerance for harassment, discrimination, homophobia or transphobia towards the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and we must strive to foster a Xaverian community of love, inclusivity, and acceptance for all.

We stand beside the voices of 2SLGBTQIA+ students here at STFX as well as those within the broader Xaverian community.

Brendan Roberts, President

On Behalf of the Students’ Union Executive Board and Representative Council
