One quick look at this long list of blog post titles and it's easy to see that we love dispensing college advice, straight from our admissions team.

Siena offers more than 70 clubs and organizations for students to get involved in, and every single one is pretty awesome. To introduce you to some of our most popular, unique and just plain cool offerings, we're launching a new series here on our blog, Inside Look. The best part is you'll get to know more about the clubs, their missions and activities from their members' points of view. First up, Outing Club. 

There's no question that this time of year is about much more than just turkey trots, football games, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie (although how amazing is the one in this pic?). It's about showing appreciation for all the good things in your life, as well as about serving those who are lonely or less fortunate. What's it like to be at Siena around Thanksgiving time?
