An independent college in the liberal arts tradition, Siena emphasizes in its programs the principles and values of Francis of Assisi. He was a man of God who recognized the goodness of all creation, who welcomed every human being as brother or sister, and who esteemed all labor no matter how humble. Siena thus affirms the unique worth of each person and the responsibility of individuals to cooperate in the creation of a just and peaceful society. Through its liberal arts curriculum, Siena strives to empower its students to address the challenges of an ever-changing world and a diverse society. Concentrated areas of study prepare students for specific careers and for postgraduate education. To these ends, Siena fosters the intellectual and aesthetic growth of its students through personal interaction with the faculty and staff both inside and outside the classroom. The college provides opportunities to develop critical and creative thinking; to gather, synthesize, and analyze evidence in making reasoned and informed judgments; to appreciate cultural diversity; to deepen aesthetic sensibility; and to enhance written and oral communication skills. Siena encourages students to develop their full potential as self-aware individuals of sound mind, body, and character who use their talents and skills in service to society. In a similar manner, the college recognizes its duty to share its resources with the larger community. In essence, Siena is an academic, social and religiously appreciative community wherein students, faculty, staff, trustees and alumni work together with respect, with friendship and with joy."
