Start strong with Xplore: Build your goals, discover your strengths, and connect your learning to your future career.

The Xplore Program is an initiative to help first-year students build a strong foundation for intentional curricular and cocurricular learning that supports educational development and career readiness. This program will provide information and strategies to guide thoughtful engagement with the wide array of curricular and co-curricular opportunities available to them at StFX.

The program will be delivered over the span of three weeks (January 11 to February 4, 2026), with a chance to make up any missed sessions in the fourth week. Each week, students will complete in-class activities that develop awareness, exploration, and application of the topic for the week.
