What Makes a Siena Weekend Worth Staying For?

The majority of Siena students choose to live on campus, and most stay for the weekends. What do college students do at Siena after classes are out? Ask a few Saints and you’ll probably get a different answer from each one. One might tell you about a night in the Dog Pound. Another might tell you about the Saturday they went out for coffee and ended up spending the afternoon in Troy. The more weekends you spend here, the more Siena starts to feel like home.

Maddox is a history major with a certificate in Revolutionary Era Studies and a cadet in the Mohawk Army ROTC Battalion. That resume, plus Professor Dorsey's endorsement, likely would have been enough to secure Maddox the internship. But then he played his trump card.
