StFX Residence Life

We are so excited to see everyone in September! ☀️ We would like to kick things off by introducing your 2024-25 Student Life Team!

Meet Alyssa, one of our Student Life Coordinators (SLCs)! Alyssa will be working to put on events and keep you connected to resources here on campus.

Stay tuned to meet more of your amazing team!

Come out to StFX's NeXt Top Costume on October 29th, from 3-5pm, in the MacKay room! Bring your best costume or come rate everyone else's! Whichever costume is voted to be the best will receive a prize! Come take pictures in our photo booth!
Entry by donation at the door: the residence with the highest donation amount will win house points! Proceeds go to B for Kai, a charity that seeks to educate on meningitis B and increase vaccination rates. Read Kai's story on bforkai.com.

Take a look at the lineup of events we have for you this Saturday October 15! Start your day off with a run and end it at your residences where your CAs have some fun activities planned for you!

Staying in residence this Thanksgiving? Take a break with a beautiful hike at Keppoch Mountain!

We want you to tell us what would create the best experience for all students. Share your ideas and contribute to StFX’s new Student Experience and Opportunity Plan. This plan will guide strategic priorities for enhancing the students experience at StFX for the next five years.

We are holding specific focus groups for members of historically-excluded groups on issues such as student mental health and well-being, experiential and co-curricular learning, and first-year experience. This includes women, Indigenous, Black, minoritized, 2SLGBTQIA+, first generation, international students and students with disabilities.

You can participate by joining one of these upcoming Community Conversations.

Participate and have a chance to win one of several prizes from a prize draw!!

Are you a StFX student with a disability? Your experiences navigating services, programs and supports are important for us to learn from as we work to create a wholly accessible campus.

By joining the Student Accessibility Advisory Committee you will help to inform changes to campus life and environment at StFX to advance equity, inclusion and accessibility. Your participation will also support the development of StFX’s new Accessibility Plan.

The majority of spaces on the Student Accessibility Advisory Committee will be reserved for undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities, and two spaces will be reserved for allies. If you are interested in joining the Student Accessibility Advisory Committee, please email [email protected]

The committee strives to achieve balanced representation of gender, race, and disability, and we are committed to making the engagement process barrier-free. Please email [email protected] if you need an accommodation, find the process inaccessible, or require more information.

Creating the conditions to be a wholly accessible campus is no easy task. The establishment and work of the Student Accessibility Advisory Committee is just one piece of a campus-wide commitment that is needed to make progress. With your participation, we look forward to continuing this important work.

We want you to tell us what would create the best experience for all students. Share your ideas and contribute to StFX’s new Student Experience and Opportunity Plan. This plan will guide strategic priorities for enhancing the student experience at StFX for the next five years.

Strategic plans need to be owned by the community. They are meant to capture, express and show a way forward for everyone. As part of our ongoing consultation, you will have an opportunity to inform priorities for improving student mental health and well-being, experiential and co-curricular learning, and the first-year experience. You can also contribute your ideas to enhance the overall student experience at StFX.

To join the online consultation, login to moodle.stfx.ca and click on the Open Forum. By answering any of the questions, you’ll be eligible to enter a draw to win one of nearly 50 prizes, including DCB, StFX gear and gift cards!
