At Siena, your professors will do more than just instruct you. They will mentor you, cheer you on and happily give you the skills needed for success. But what really makes our faculty so special is that they clearly love working here, which can make all the difference in the way they teach. Here’s why a few various faculty members choose to be at Siena (and check out part one here!).

We've got big news for aspiring business majors (and non-business majors, too, as you'll read about here): Siena now offers a true, plain-and-simple business major. But the truth is, it's not plain and simple at all.

With next week being Hip-Hop Week at Siena, it was only right to interview Professor Todd Snyder for part two of our faculty Q&A series. Originally from West Virginia, the often-raved-about English professor has been with Siena since 2011—and is the man behind one of our most popular courses, "Rhetoric(s) of Hip-Hop Culture."

Did you know that at Siena, all courses are faculty-taught? No TAs, no grad students. Here, you'll be learning from professors with impressive credentials, who all happen to be incredible and inspiring people, too. Why not kick off a new Q&A series on the blog where you can learn more about them? In honor of Women's History Month, we're starting off with Dr. Laurie Naranch.

Feeling nervous about submitting your application? That's totally normal, but we're hoping to help by introducing you to three of our new admissions counselors. By putting a face to their names, you'll see that our admissions counselors are people, too—who happen to like home-baked potato chips, apple cider doughnuts and omelets.

They’re the ones who will mentor you, cheer you on, grade your papers and impart invaluable life lessons. They’ve got a unique view of what goes on around campus, and they know—perhaps better than anyone—what types of students really flourish at Siena College. Our faculty.
