Kennedy Union 310

Siena College recently embarked on a new strategic plan: Tradition. Transformed. 2017 - 2022. One of the five goals is "Distinctive Value; Enhance our value and brand and broadcast to all stakeholders while maximizing our Franciscan, liberal arts advantage." During this time, the college also developed five core values, one of which is compassionate leadership: We lead by putting others first, through our commitment to social justice, service with others, and concern for the poor and vulnerable. A college-wide tactic under Distinctive Value is to implement delivery of programs through student activities to advance the development of the whole person. Our division enthusiastically responded with the following key action: Create an integrated programming model for the development of the whole person based upon six pillars. This session will review our process and journey to success.
