Racial Justice and Police Reform
The second in a series of bipartisan Congressional panel discussions on racial justice and police reform was held May 6 - one of the first campus events to have an in-person component since the start of the pandemic. President Chris Gibson ’86, Ph.D. moderated U.S. Rep. Antonio Delgado (D-NY-19) and U.S. Rep. John Katko (R-NY-24), who discussed the two major legislative proposals for policing reform.
A Special Juneteenth Reflection
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. It marks the day – two and a half years after the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation – that slaves in Texas at long last received news of their freedom via General Order No. 3. To observe this holiday and to further the College’s commitment to strengthening the bonds of racial justice, Siena hosted its first-ever Juneteenth celebration on May 5.

More Tools for the Pedagogical Toolbox

However, let’s not throw the pedagogical baby out with the bathwater.
