Siena Saints joined students from local Catholic and public schools, as well as representatives of diocesan young adult ministries, on the March 23 Pilgrimage of Hope for Climate Justice.

It's quite the undertaking to host the Special Olympics New York State Winter Games. Organizers are managing nearly 900 athletes across dozens of competitions at different venues. Representatives from Special Olympics NY described the scope and scale last semester as guest lecturers in Event and Facility Management, a course taught by Adam Pfleegor, Ph.D., associate professor of management. Julianna Volk '26 was in the classroom, and months later, she was part of the team.

Cristiana Hoene '27 wasn't sure where she wanted to study abroad or if she wanted to study abroad at all. One year later, she's a Siena trailblazer.

Siena supplied the tickets courtesy of the NCAA, but it was up to fans to make their own way to South Carolina for the March 19 NCAA Tournament First Round game against the Duke Blue Devils.

Taylor Smith '26 would have watched the NCAA Tournament selection show, but she left campus before the brackets were unveiled to celebrate her friend's 21st birthday. When her phone started blowing up, she knew that could only mean one thing: Greenville.

Siena came within a few minutes and a handful of points of upsetting the number one team in the country on the biggest stage in college basketball. But even in defeat, Siena stole the national spotlight. 

With Commencement just over the horizon, Siena seniors are looking for jobs, and underclassmen are looking for internships. What exactly are employers looking for in candidates? Laura Supan Bichun ’07, chief people officer at Brooklyn-based Chronograph, knows. She delivered the address “What Actually Gets You Hired (and What Doesn’t)" for the newly-named Sal Ilacqua ’50 School of Business Lecture Series.

Ten things you probably don't know about the Professor of Physics.

Student teachers in New York state do not receive a stipend during their time in the classroom, so many of them end up paying quite a bit out of pocket for class supplies, commuting and professional development. Gabby Neet ’26 wants to help change that.

He's not a bad kid at all, he just has a habit of wandering. The first grader at Boght Hills Elementary School would ask to go to the bathroom, and instead of promptly returning to class, he'd go anywhere else. He'd roam the halls or swing by his older brother's 4th grade class. After sitting down and talking with the student, the school psychologist came up with a plan. But, she would need an assist from Kathryn Nerber '26.
