Hear From Our Saints

Our Saints have a lot to say about their time at Siena and their experience in the Social Work Program. 

What do social workers do?

Social workers practice with diverse populations in a variety of settings including criminal justice, military, schools, healthcare, substance abuse, children and families, gerontology (aging), homelessness/poverty, and others. Social workers advocate for others and help address social, economic, and environmental injustices.
