Ask any employer about what they look for on recent grads’ resumes, and they’ll likely tell you that internships rank high, really high. After all, internships give students hands-on, real world, beyond-the-classroom experiences that prepare them for full-time jobs. In addition, students often develop relationships with mentors at internships and learn valuable workplace lessons they can carry with them for the rest of their careers. Can’t beat that, right? So, as you choose where to matriculate, be sure to inquire about internship placements. As the Assistant Director for Employer Relations here at Siena College’s Career Center, I can say without a doubt that Siena is pretty exceptional in this arena.

Siena College is among the 240 colleges and universities in the United States that have received 2015 Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.

The college you eventually enroll in should open doors for you. It should prepare you for your career, but also for your life. Wondering if Siena can do that for you? Anyone who works here would be happy to tell you all the ways it can (and we probably have already), but today, take it from a current student who’s in the thick of it all. In this post, our second student profile, meet Megan Brousseau.

It’s about time you meet a couple current students here on the blog. Why? Because they’re awesome, of course, but also because they have a unique perspective on what Siena College can offer its students. They’re in the heart of it, right now, going through the Siena experience. And if you’re still undecided about where you’d like to spend the next four years, their words could help point you in the right direction.

Siena has launched a new video series called “Five Questions at Casey’s.” The short, interview-style segments give you a chance to learn about some of the College’s most exciting and innovative people, programs and opportunities.

The work that students do here at Siena oftentimes leads to opportunities off-campus. That was the case for history major Francis Butler who joined some Siena graduates as presenters at a recent New York State history conference.

Siena’s fall production of the play “Child Soldier,” gives a glimpse into the life of a young woman trying to navigate life as a high school student in the United States while being tormented by her past as a child soldier in Liberia.
