Siena College is honored to recognize the accomplishments of Dr. Todd D. Snyder as the recipient of the 2023-2024 award.
Todd D. Snyder, Ph.D. is a true role model for Siena students. Born and raised in Cowen, West Virginia, the son of a coal miner turned boxing trainer, his research is deeply intertwined with his own life experience, the theme of working-class masculinity serving as his primary focus. Regardless of the topic, Dr. Snyder’s research looks to highlight perspectives relegated to the margins of history and incorporates a multi-disciplinary approach. Since starting at Siena in 2011, he’s published four books and has presented his work at countless conferences, lectures, and here on campus.
