Supporting Education
in a Changed World
Education With a Mission
No doubt you’re familiar with that catch phrase.
Douglas Kapnick
Chair, Board of Trustees
Siena Heights uses “Education With a Mission”
in its admissions publications as well as its
fundraising materials. In fact, so central is that
notion to Siena’s identity that the University
has incorporated the phrase into the title of the
current $12.5 million fund raising program: The
Campaign for Siena Heights University, Education
With a Mission.
But Education with a Mission is more than a slogan; it’s what
Siena Heights lives and breathes every day, in Adrian and across
the state at a growing number of off-campus programs.
And in the aftermath of this fall’s tragic events, education with
a mission has never been more important. In the post-9/11
world, what could be more critical than providing a teaching and
learning environment that respects the dignity of all?
What more vital enterprise is there than assisting students and
citizens to become more competent, purposeful and ethical?
What cause is any more significant than empowering the Adrian
Dominican heritage and Catholic values that make Siena Heights
a place that embraces diversity and welcomes persons of all
faiths?
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the entire Siena Heights
community, I extend my thanks to all the alumni, parents,
students, friends, neighbors, businesses and organizations who
contributed to Education with a Mission during the past fiscal
year. Your gifts make our mission possible.
I offer a special note of gratitude to those of you who have chosen
to support the University not only through the Annual Fund, but
also with an additional commitment to The Campaign for Siena
Heights University. Your investment in Siena’s future will pay off
many times in the lives of our graduates.
Sincerely,
Board of
Trustees
