Saints Give Thanks

#THANKFUL

There's no question that this time of year is about much more than just turkey trots, football games, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie (although how amazing is the one in this pic?). It's about showing appreciation for all the good things in your life and for all the people you feel blessed to know. Scroll through to see what our Saints are thankful for!

What our Saints are thankful for

"I've been lucky enough to be a SAINT Orientation leader for 3 years, and I'll always be thankful for the friendships that I've made and the experiences I've had throughout the years. There has been no time of year that I've looked forward to most throughout my years of being at Siena, and for that I am very thankful.”

Life as a Saint

"It is quite an interesting and truly 'special' time to be working in the field of Public Health and I am especially thankful to play a role in the public health community as the U.S and the world continues to face many public health hardships.”

Life after Siena

“Before going to South Korea, I tried not to think much about it because I wanted no expectations. But now that I've explored parts of Korea, I am amazed by its uniqueness! Each city has its own culture. My abroad experience really helped me learn about myself in so many ways."

Study Abroad

"Once I visited Siena, I knew it was going to be my home. Meeting with Coach Osborn proved to me that my experience would be the perfect balance of academics and tennis. I am so happy with the decision I made to transfer to Siena. I love the sense of community throughout the campus and am grateful for the friendships I have made."

Siena Athletics

"Siena gave me the opportunity to serve in Guatemala last semester during our Spring Break. We listened and talked to so many different groups of people; we heard their stories and were asked to carry their messages along. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience that I’ll never forget. I can honestly say I don't think I would have experienced something like this if I went to another school. My experiences at Siena have really pushed me outside of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t be more thankful."

SienaServes

"I'm thankful for the Siena Cheer Team because of the friends and experiences it has given me. My teammates are like my family and they’re always there to cheer me up. I will forever be grateful for their support and I truly don't know what I would do without them!"

"I am particularly thankful for the study abroad office and the advisers who helped decide on a program and location in which to study. While I was in London I took 3 classes and worked part time at a non-profit organization. I loved being able to explore the city while also building my resume with an international internship. Studying abroad is something that not a lot of people can say that they have done, so I will always be grateful for the experiences that I had overseas (even if it was cut short!)."

Internships

"I am thankful for all of the friends I have made at Siena. I transferred mid-semester my sophomore year so I was really nervous getting a random roommate and making new friends. Little did I know that my random roommate would turn into my best friend! I have made so many lifelong relationships at Siena that I am so grateful for."
