Campus Champion

Politics and good conversation go hand in hand for Xavier Campbell, a junior political science major from Queens, N.Y., who grew up sharing intense debates on hot button topics with his grandfather. “We’re in the generation that finally gets where we’re at as a nation,” he said. The aspiring governor of New York state says he would enact major changes. Until then, he’s happy discussing his two passions — politics and history. Xavier hopes to encourage lively dialog among his classmates with his upcoming Sandwich Seminar lecture, “African Americans in the Military,” Wednesday, Feb. 18, in Brockway Hall Jacobus Lounge.
