CAMPUS AT A GLANCE (brief description)

Siena, a Catholic and Franciscan college, founded in 1937 by seven Franciscan friars, is an independent undergraduate liberal arts college located in Loudonville, New York, a suburban community just outside the state's capital.

Siena students benefit from the College’s proximity to Albany, hub of political and cultural activity and the center of Tech Valley, by acquiring practical internships (and later, careers) in government, the arts, science and business.

 

KEY FACTS

Location: about 12 minutes north of downtown Albany, NY

Enrollment: 3,000

Other interesting tidbits: Siena College has a Friary on-campus and many priests and brothers teach classes and hold administrative titles.

Partners: Siena College Urban Environmental Health and Justice Initiative 4-H Program

2007-08 was thte first year for the Bonner Leader Program at Siena College. We were able to implement the infrastructure and work with various offices on campus to forge partnerships campus-wide. We are proud to have selected 12 of the most service-oriented upperclassmen on campus to become the founding Bonner Leaders. Siena has a strong historical and ideological connection to service and we will be taking this to the next level through the Bonner Leader Program. We look forward to strengthening further the already strong community partnerships made by The Franciscan Center for Service and Advocacy.
