Siena’s Fraiscan, liberal arts tradition is our soul. Saints embrace the excluded and unite in service to the poor and marginalized. They lead by putting others first, thinking creatively and developing innovative solutions in pursuit of the greater good. Siena’s education for a lifetime opens doors to enduring success and a passion for lifelong learning and doing. And it’s what connts Saints to Siena—and each other—forever. https://www.siena.edu/visit/about/

As a Fraiscan community, Siena strives to embody the values and vision of St. Frais of Assisi: faith in a personal and provident God, reveree for all creation, affirmation of the unique worth of each person, appreciation for beauty, service to the poor and marginalized. We seek to build a community strengthened through diversity, where members work together in friendship and respect, committed to building a world that is more just, peaceable, and humane. As a Catholic college, Siena seeks to advae not only the intellectual growth of its students, but their spiritual, religious and ethical formation as well. To this end, Siena is composed of and in dialogue with people from different religious and cultural traditions; fosters a critical appreciation of the Catholic intellectual heritage in conversation with contemporary experiee; provides ample opportunities for worship and service; explores the moral dimensions of decision-making in business and the professions; and affirms the dignity of the individual while pursuing the common good.
