Mission and Service

Transcript

I’d like to introduce you to Ben, who in addition to getting a first rate education, wanted to find a community where his faith could grow. Ben, you are up.

– Thanks Alex. Hey guys. Welcome to the Heights. When I started my college search, I was looking for a school where I could play athletics and further my faith all while receiving a personalized education. Siena checked all the boxes. And when I stepped onto this beautiful campus, I never looked back. I immediately realized that my professors and coaches were going to get the best out of me at every turn. With Siena’s small class sizes, it’s allowed me to make personal connections with my professors and classmates. One of my favorite things about SHU is living in a community that is so spiritually and athletically driven. Here at Siena, I’ve had countless opportunities to further my faith and put it into action through service projects that have aided the Adrian community and many others around the world. Siena’s mission is to create competent, purposeful, and ethical students in a learning environment that respects the dignity of all. Deeply rooted in the Dominican tradition, Siena has students take classes that focus on these core values, which hopes to develop well-rounded individuals. Students come to Siena for more than just a degree. Students come here to find their voice, their faith, and to use their God-given gifts to make the world a better place. Bible study, campus ministry, masses, and service projects are just a few of the ways that Siena helps students find or further their faith. Here at Siena Heights, I’ve not only made friends for life, but personal connections with my professors that will last me throughout my professional career. In an ever-changing world in need of competent, purposeful, and ethical thinkers, I’m so happy that Siena’s preparing me for whatever’s coming next. Sending it back to you, Alex.

– Thanks, Ben. Students come to Siena for more than a degree, so true. And they find community, purpose, and a desire to serve their wider world. Siena welcomes students of all faiths and respects the dignity of all. Knowing that a college is a good fit is one thing, navigating the process can still seem a little complicated, especially if you’re an international student.
