The
Ripple
Effect

They were attracted
to Siena Heights for
different reasons.
For one, it was a chance to escape a selfdestructive cycle of behavior. For another
it was supposed to be a temporary stop
between destinations. Or Siena Heights
was a chance to live and experience the

This year’s Alumni Award recipients
may have taken different roads to Siena
Heights, but all were recognized March

others succeed. In fact, four of the five
have taught/are teaching at other
institutions of higher education, while
the fifth is the director of a national
volunteer service organization. What
can you do with a Siena Heights degree?
Just ask Sister Mary Beaubien, Anthony
Butler, Jacob Chi, Gabrielle Davis and
Tod Marshall, this year’s honorees.
Think Higher, indeed…
