Please blog about how the Siena Bonner Service Leaders Program fits into the mission of the college, specifically relating to the following:
"As a Franciscan community, Siena strives to embody the vision and values of St. Francis of Assisi: faith in a personal and provident God, reverence for all creation, affirmation of the unique worth of each person, delight in diversity, appreciation for beauty, service with the poor and marginalized, a community where members work together in friendship and respect, and commitment to building a world that is more just, peaceable, and humane.
The Siena Bonner Service Leaders Program made an effort to get to know each applicant on a personal level in the interviewing phase. Not only that, but I, the applicant, was able to really find out what Bonners do and what their mission is. I really felt as though they valued me as a person and not just another body to volunteer. The Bonners fit so nicely with the mission of Siena College because service is embedded into the Franciscan tradition. The Bonners pride themselves in diversity in not only race, but also gender, religious backgrounds, and all those other things we talked about in the Diversity training workshop. Obviously, we as Bonner Leaders are a close community just as Siena is. But better. We are all committed to doing our own little part to shape the world into one that is more equal as well as peaceful.
