A Rooted Government

A government that anchors itself, its resources and efforts in the real needs and conerns of the students.


a. Establish program based initiatives that addresses the 3 C’s for students by students

i. Academic Development Program – spearheaded by the Department of Academic Affairs, this program provides academic assistance and interventions for the students such as one-on-one tutorials, quiz bees, term paper assistance, book sales, oration competition, essay writing, video making competition and other creative ways to improve their academic performance. This program also includes a review and evaluation of courses, teachers and programs that will help improve our education system in the University.

ii. Wellness and Health Program – in partnership with the PE Department and Athletic Office, the government hopes to provide regular opportunities where students can exercise, play sports, and the like.

iii. Student Involvement Program – in partnership with the KKP-SIO, the government hopes to provide a singular venue to deploy our resources in developing people and a certain community/school in line with the environmental priorities of the government.

b. Strengthen student group and organization support such as scholars and student assistants

i. Scholars’ Assistance Fund – in partnership with the PTA and the Scholarship office, we hope to assist a number of scholars who have financial difficulties. These limitations compel them to skip lunch and the like. This fund would give them a daily meal tab for support.

ii. Student Grant Program – This program provides funding to student groups and student orgs whose projects/programs are aligned to the mission and vision of the central student government.

iii. Student Organizational Assistance Fund – this fund is allocated to support relevant activities of extra-curricular organizations.

iv. Student Assistants Organization – the government should support the formation of a student assistant’s organization. This group shall then be charged to facilitate the concerns of the student assistants and initiate programs and projects that caters to their needs.



c. Employ new media for effective communication

i. Integrated website and online bulletin – the government should make full use of new media to disseminate information. The use of a blog type website makes it easier for navigation and posting of information. We also aim to harness the power of the blogger’s community in XU. This is managed by the office of Information.

ii. Establish a Hotline cell number – This enables ordinary students to contact the government and channel any concerns, questions, issues, etc. they might encounter.

iii. “How to” video compilation – provide a video archive of short videos explaining all relevant procedures and processes each student should know in campus such as how to file for change of grades, file complaints, invest in XUCCO, or get a new ID.

d. Establishment of an integrated student service.

i. Daily Student Assistance – the government should explore the idea of operating a rent system for everyday items such as umbrellas, phone service, calculators, a baggage counter system etc.

ii. Create a Database of dorms/pads resided by Xavier University Students – This effort can help students who have a hard time looking for affordable dorms/pads near the campus.
