Devon James is a Campus Minister at Xavier University. She grew up in a suburb of Chicago where she found a love of campus ministry at her all-girls Catholic high school. She earned her undergraduate degree from Xavier in Theology and Public Relations and her graduate degree at the University of Dayton in Pastoral Ministry. Devon has been educated by Dominicans, Jesuits, and Marianists, which has given her a well-rounded spirituality. Her practicum project in graduate school centered on helping juniors and seniors in college learn how to foster their faith beyond college campus ministry. She also has a Certificate in Pastoral Formation from Boston College. She is also completing a program that certifies her to accompany people through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Devon has ministered all over the country, including Wyoming and Connecticut, before returning to Ohio.  For her, God can be found most often in her students, a vibrant sunset, or on a peaceful hike. Devon is passionate about Ignatian Spirituality, synodality, the connection between faith and justice, and her cat Chai. She draws inspiration from St. Ignatius of Loyola, Servant of God Dorothy Day, Pope Francis, and St. Oscar Romero.
