our Vision

The Franciscan Mission Office is an integral component of Siena College’s culture and distinctive value by fostering a campus climate that promotes and supports service and diversity as a catalyst for learning and community engagement.  Our Mission is the heart and soul of Siena’s Franciscan Catholic identity. 

We foster sustainable relationships, care for creation, inclusivity, and work toward justice and peace through mindful dialogue and compassionate collaboration. 

We lead in mission integration by educating and forming all Siena members through an ongoing invitation to celebrate and live the Franciscan tradition and Siena College’s core values. 

We empower all Siena members to engage with the local and global community by witnessing our Franciscan tradition through transformative service, advocacy and intellectual curiosity.
