Within the Franciscan Center for Service and Advocacy, Academic Community Engagement (ACE) promotes, develops, and supports connecting Siena students, faculty, and staff with the greater New York State Capital Region and beyond through academically grounded, sustainable, developmental, multifaceted, community partnerships in the tradition of St. Francis. Placing the creation and acquisition of knowledge in dialogue with the needs of the greater community echoes the life of St. Francis and is an essential part of the unique character of a Siena College education. ACE supports the campus culture of service at Siena and strives to include a diversity of voices in all we do.
