Instead of having a traditional commencement speaker, this year Siena let the Class of 2014 speak for itself. A video reflection from the class aired during their graduation ceremony and can be seen below. Students selected by the class council were interviewed and shared their thoughts on the past four years.
Highlights of the video included science majors launching a NASA rocket into space, students cheering on the men’s basketball team to the College Basketball Invitational championship and young scholars engaging in service and research around the globe.
The class made a name for itself in other ways as well. They played a major role in suggesting student-friendly renovations to the Sarazen Student Union. These will be completed by the fall. They introduced Siena’s version of Dr. Phil at the annual Mr. Siena event and brought to campus the Roots Café, which offers local, organic, fair trade lunches on Wednesdays.
Members of Siena’s Class of 2014 got a taste of success on campus. Now they are ready for their next big steps in life.
