Siena College
Siena College is a private, Franciscan liberal arts college located in Loudonville, NY (just a few minutes from the state capital of Albany). The Siena experience is built for a new generation of leaders eager to create a more just, peaceful and humane world. It empowers them through a transformative journey of intellectual, spiritual and personal discovery. Our students 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.
