Athletic Support Program
Nearly 15% of Siena students participate on one or more of Siena’s varsity intercollegiate athletic teams. As members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, Siena student-athletes reap the benefits of both worlds – the opportunity to engage in a challenging and stimulating academic environment, along with the chance to develop their athletic potential as members of competitive NCAA Division I teams. The support services provided to student-athletes are designed to offer assistance and resources in addition to encouragement and guidance as they strive to maintain balance and achieve excellence in their academic and athletic careers. Services include monitoring academic and degree progress, supervision of study hall, coordination of enrichment and educational programming, as well as interaction with academic advisors and faculty within the various Liberal Arts, Science and Business colleges.
