The McKenna Centre supports and champions all those whose ideas, research, and actions lead the way to developing bold and creative solutions to the most pressing problems of our time.
Highlights, News, and Deadlines
The Xaverian Pen Pal Project is an initiative that aims to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation, while also promoting positive inter-generational relationships between StFX students and members of the Antigonish community.
The stories we live and tell provide coherence and meaning and orient our sense of purpose.” -Sharon Daloz Parks
With the introduction of these grants, the McKenna Centre wishes to contribute to wider efforts in our community and at StFX to take much-needed, decisive action in order to combat the continued presence of racism and the ongoing systemic exclusion and disenfranchisement of Black and Indigenous students in Canadian society and in higher education.
Social change and important solutions are brought about both by the direct actions of outspoken leaders and the efforts of quiet, indirect leaders. At the McKenna Centre, we insist on the importance of inclusive leadership training for all students, and we support the work of both traditional and non-traditional leaders.
