Siena’s annual Senior Gift Kickoff Party brought 160 members of the Class of 2015 back to campus a day early for the spring semester while simultaneously raising money for the senior class gift.

Calling all high school seniors! Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to get back to those college applications. This is a friendly reminder that regular admissions applications for Siena College are due February 15—just over a month away.

The New York State Broadcasters Association is recognizing Siena College’s radio station 88.3 FM WVCR “The Saint” for its commitment to serving the Capital Region by honoring its program "Change Makers" with the Serving New York Award.

Facilitators from the Anti-Defamation League’s A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute guided middle and high school students and teachers through anti-bias workshops to help them positively address the realities of bullying and prejudice in their schools during Siena's annual STOP Conference.

With a new year comes resolutions, and with resolutions comes…well, the breaking of resolutions. (We can’t stay away from sweets either.) But there are some resolutions that are worth keeping, especially for soon-to-be high school graduates. That’s why we put together this list of changes to make and goals to keep in 2015 that will not only make you a more appealing candidate for college admissions offices, but a better student all around.

Ask any employer about what they look for on recent grads’ resumes, and they’ll likely tell you that internships rank high, really high. After all, internships give students hands-on, real world, beyond-the-classroom experiences that prepare them for full-time jobs. In addition, students often develop relationships with mentors at internships and learn valuable workplace lessons they can carry with them for the rest of their careers. Can’t beat that, right? So, as you choose where to matriculate, be sure to inquire about internship placements. As the Assistant Director for Employer Relations here at Siena College’s Career Center, I can say without a doubt that Siena is pretty exceptional in this arena.

Siena College is among the 240 colleges and universities in the United States that have received 2015 Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

The college you eventually enroll in should open doors for you. It should prepare you for your career, but also for your life. Wondering if Siena can do that for you? Anyone who works here would be happy to tell you all the ways it can (and we probably have already), but today, take it from a current student who’s in the thick of it all. In this post, our second student profile, meet Megan Brousseau.
