BONNERS REPORT TO CAMPUS FOR ORIENTATION AS FALL SEMESTER BEGINS With the beginning of the new academic year, the Siena College Bonner Service Leaders welcomed a new Freshman cohort to the Bonner family. They arrived on August 25th to participate in five days of Bonner orientation before they would have to attend the general orientation for entire Freshman class. In addition to the seventeen new students to the program, eight current Bonner Leaders, led by Jacquie Lennon ’13, to facilitate, train, and introduce the Bonners to what it means to be a Bonner Service Leader. Over the course of the Orientation, the new Bonners participated in a number of different activities as part of their Bonner Orientation. During the first days of the orientation, the students were introduced to the general aspects of the program and the college, such as learning about the Bonner Program and its history, DEEP Service, and the Franciscan Tradition. On the third day, the students participated in a service event with the Peter Young Foundation in which they had a field day with the children from the Schuyler Inn. Following this the Bonners met with their site supervisors to go be introduced to their sites and go over their placements. The Bonners then returned to the Schuyler Inn to have dinner with Father Peter Young. To end the Orientation, the Bonners participated in a ropes course and trip to Howe Caverns for some time to do some Bonner bonding and relax after their four intense days of Bonner Orientation. The Office of ACE then held a ceremony in which the new Bonners were fully inaugurated into the Program as the Siena College Bonner Service Leader Class of 2016. DEEP Service 14
