Siena Heights University
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaSiena Heights University is a university in Adrian, Michigan, United States. The University was founded in 1919 as St. Joseph’s College for Women. In 1939 it was renamed Siena Heights College and in 1969 became coeducational. In 1975 the University initiated the first degree-completion program for working adults in Southfield, Michigan. In 1998 Siena Heights was renamed a University. The University is also affiliated with St. Joseph Academy for Children and the Montessori Children’s House. Siena Heights offers a complete spectrum of Athletics, Music, Theater and Art to the entire university community.
Saints Athletics
The adopted mascot of the University was known simply as The Saints, until 2008, when Halo The Husky Dog became the new mascot. Siena athletes are still referred to as The Saints. The University competes nationally in NAIA intercollegiate athletics. The Saints also contend in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. Athletics have a long and storied tradition at Siena Heights. During the period when Siena was an all-women’s college, it was known for its achievements in women’s basketball. Academics and athletics go hand-in-hand at Siena Heights. In 2006-07 student-athletes had a combined 3.01 GPA.
History
Siena Heights University is named after St. Catherine of Siena. The name honors a 14th century Italian Dominican tertiary and Doctor of the Church. St. Catherine left a great body of literature, of which, the greatest work is the Dialogue of Divine Providence. The mission of the University is to help students become more competent, purposeful and ethical. The University was founded by the Dominican Sisters as part of the International Order of Preachers under the teachings of St. Dominic. The Dominican Sisters are an international Congregation of 895 vowed women religious whose roots go back to St. Dominic in the 13th century. They are committed to preaching the Word of God, the formation of community centered on faith, and ministry to further the values of the Gospel among ourselves and in our world. The Dominican Shield of the International Order of Preachers represents The Order consisting of four white and four black gyrons or triangles. These symbolize the unity of a body of people working together for the common good. The "cross fleury" (or cross with a fleur de lis at each end) superimposed upon the gyrons, signifies victory, duty and self-sacrifice. The sable or black of the shield symbolizes wisdom, silence, fortitude and penance. The light color signifies peace, purity, charity and sincerity. The motto surrounding the shield; "Laudare, Benedicere, Praedicare," means "to praise God, to bless His people and to preach His gospel." The shield may also be surrounded by the six or eight pointed star which is the distinguishing symbol of St. Dominic.
Colleges and Academics
The University has more than 40 academic programs, undergraduate and graduate and is divided among three colleges; the Undergraduate College, the Graduate College, and the College of Professional Studies. The undergraduate departments and academic majors at the University main campus located in Adrian, MI are organized in five academic divisions:
- Business Management
- Computing, Mathematics and the Sciences
- Humanities
- Social and Behavioral Science
- Visual and Performing Arts and Teacher Education
The University Graduate College focuses on three main areas of study:
- Counselor Education
- Leadership
- Teacher Education
In addition, the University offers an undergraduate degree program in Theological Studies in the name of the Catholic Church. In response to the church's need for new lay ministers grounded in theology, Bishop Robert J. Carlson developed a program for the formation of lay ministers. Because of its commitment to non-traditional/adult students, Siena Heights University was chosen to lead the Diocesan Ministry Formation Program. This academic program consists of 36 credit hours. Siena Heights University provides the twelve theology courses in theological studies required by the Diocese. The College for Professional Studies consists of eleven completion centers. The University also offers an Online Degree completion program. Today, Siena Heights continues its long tradition of integrating liberal arts and career education. In addition, interaction between student and professor is encouraged. The University intentionally maintains a low student volume per classroom in order to enhance the learning potential of each student. A 15:1 ratio per classroom is the average. Undergraduate students must also complete a Senior Project and Thesis in addition to their academic requirements to graduate. Each Senior Project will be argued before a board, consisting of faculty members within the student’s major. Another means by which the University fosters an open communication model is referred to as Common Dialog Day. This is a Siena Heights tradition that allows for a day of discussion, debate and reflection. There are no classes during this day, and students are encouraged to participate with faculty, staff, alumni and administration to discuss different topics.
