DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY AT SIENA: STRENGTHENING THE BONDS OF RACIAL JUSTICE

Siena strives to embody the vision and values of St. Francis of Assisi, including his commitment to building a world that is more just, peaceable, and humane. We must recommit to strengthening the bonds of racial justice to fulfill that mission and ensure people of color in our community feel safe, accepted, appreciated and affirmed. This effort starts with education and conversation. It requires action.
