Academic Support
Siena prides itself in its student-athletes’ success academically. In recent years, Siena’s student-athletes have ranked in the top-10 percent nationally in graduation success rate (GSR), academic progress rate (APR) and graduation rates.
A full-time academic advisor is on-hand to ensure this continued academic excellence while providing assistance for student- athletes, helping in class scheduling and setting up tutors. In 2002, an assistant advisor was hired to assist with the NCAA’s Champs Life Skills initiative – known as S.A.IN.T.S. (Supporting Athletes in Their Success) at Siena. The department’s major undertaking in the summer of 2004 was the construction of a new study hall facility for the exclusive use of student-athletes. The center received a facelift this past season, bringing to light the current and past successes of the department’s student- athletes. The study lounge is located on the second floor of the MAC and includes all the amenities and technological resources needed to assure the continued academic success for Siena’s student-athletes.
The lounge is being redesigned this year. In addition, the showcase J. Spencer and Patricia Standish library, which opened in 2000, serves as a scenic backdrop to the baseball field and is a short walk from any point on campus.
