Through Siena Serves, you can participate
in alternative spring break trips in Florida,
Jamaica, and New Orleans.
Are you determined to make a difference?
After four years at Siena Heights University, you will be.
A Siena education will teach you to engage in the world
around you and contribute to your community.
To us, service isn’t just another activity or a
resumé builder – it’s a way of life.
Siena’s summer partnership with
Camp Sunshine in Maine allows our
students to spend time with children
who face life-threatening illnesses.
Homeless for the Homeless
Each winter, the Pi Lambda Phi fraternity builds –
and lives in – cardboard shacks to raise awareness
and support for the homeless.
PURPOSE
At some universities, a special week is set aside for volunteering. By those standards, every
week of the Siena school year is special.
You can visit the Hope Community Center and help senior citizens with disabilities. Your theatre
club might drop by Daily Bread to work the lunch line. Spring break could take you down the
road to Flint or across the country to Miami.
If you prefer to get involved without leaving campus, organize a project of your own. An annual
favorite is Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, during which Siena men hit the track in high heels to raise
funds for the Catherine Cobb Domestic Violence Program.
Siena Heights University President Sister Peg Albert says, “A college
education isn’t just for yourself – it’s also for others. If you can grow and
change as a person, then you can certainly make a difference in our world.”
