Story of Community:
In the final days of the fall semester at Siena College in 2008 a bad snow and ice storm hit the Albany region. As a result the college and surronding towns lost power. Finals exams were cancelled and both students and faculty were faced with many challenges on how to go about completeing the semester. Many people were confused on how to compelete all of their courses and final exams during this incident. The college administration and officials came together as a community and decided to cancel all remaining final exams. In a time of crisis and danger, the Siena community was about to communicate effectively and enforce a plan of action. Communities come together in a time of both crisis and celebration. They are a social support for everybody who is an active member.
