We are pleased to present our Strategy in Action, Towards 2030.

This strategy statement represents a firm and hope filled commitment to the future of Siena College for students, staff and all community members. All who learn and work at Siena know of the gift and grace of this place – its spirit, its history, its people, its culture and its promise.

When the pioneering Dominican Sisters first established Siena College in 1940, they committed firmly to the finest education for young women. An education that would equip every student with the skills, knowledge, values and attributes for life, and ultimately for good in our world. And so, Siena College was established as a place of educational excellence in the Dominican Tradition, in a fine example of Catholic education at its best. It is with deep admiration and appreciation to the founding Dominican Sisters, as well as the local parish and its families, that many features remain integral to our offering to this day:

• The belief that women, well formed and educated, should take their rightful place in every dimension of society
• The conviction that girls’ education should be intellectually robust and of the highest order
• The worldview that with educational privilege comes the responsibility to give in pursuit of the fullness of humanity, particularly with those in need
• The unwavering commitment to the Dominican ethos of truth

The four pillars of our Dominican heritage reflect these commitments and offer a lasting link between the gift of our history and grace for the future:

• Prayer and Contemplation: a centering awareness of the sacred in our midst
• Study: an intentional commitment to learning
• Justice: a recognition of the human quest for truth, beauty and justice
• Community: an appreciation for authentic relationship

In this context, we are proud to share our vision for the coming years.
