/The Xaverian Weekly
The Xaverian Weekly was founded as the Excelsior in 1895 as the official student newspaper of Saint Francis Xavier University. The Xaverian Weekly is the voice of students, and uses its platform to hold the University, and the Students’ Union to account.
The Xaverian Weekly is published by the Xaverian Weekly Publications Board and is editorially autonomous. We publish 6-15 issues per academic year, including special issues on elections and social justice topics.
