GIVING is a word that Siena Heights understands and embraces. Whether it be giving back to the university, their hometowns, or the greater global community, our students and alumni recognize the impact that they can and do have on our world. Throughout this issue of Reflections, we set out to highlight and honor the many ways SHU gives back. I look forward to connecting with many of you over the next few months. Please keep in touch and let us know how we’re doing.
