Ryan Hall

Welcome to Ryan Hall!  Ryan Hall is a first year student residence hall housing approximately 300 students.  Ryan Hall consists of four floors (with three wings per floor: North, South, and East).  Male students live on the 1st and 2nd floors and female students live on the 3rd and 4th floors.  The majority of rooms are double-occupancy with a few quad-style rooms.  Ryan Hall is named after Fr. Benvenute Ryan, OFM, who served as a Provincial Minister for the Holy Name Province from 1925-1931, just a few years prior to the establishment of Siena College (1937).

Ryan Hall Staff:

Ryan Hall is staffed by a live-in professional Residence Director who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of Ryan Hall, including maintenance and facilities concerns, mediating conflicts between students, supervision of paraprofessional Resident Assistant staff, adjudicating violations of the Siena College student code of conduct, and many other responsibilities.  The Residence Director of Ryan Hall is currently Mr. Raleigh Hicks.  Raleigh is currently in his second year at Siena College.

Each Residence Hall (except for the Townhouses and Hennepin) also houses a Friar-in-Residence.  Franciscan Friars model Franciscan ideals, recognize the goodness and value of each person, and serve as a resource for students for any concerns they might have.

Also working in Ryan Hall are 11 Resident Assistants, who are student-leaders living on each floor and wing of the residence hall who serve as peer mentors and role models for the residents of the building.  RAs go through an in-depth training every August and January to provide them with the skills necessary to ensure all residents of Ryan Hall feel welcomed and safe in the residence hall.
