One of our own has devised and directed this moving piece!

“There is no single way to describe the moment when cancer walks in the door and takes a front - row seat in the theatre of your life” - Joanna Bull
Find yourself near Siena College next Tuesday 4/23 ?
Come see The Voices of Resilience, a series of monologues and poems that share cancer survivor & caregiver stories. A local student volunteer who is a national student leader volunteer for us, had the beautiful opportunity to devise and direct this piece and bring the idea to life this semester. Admission is free and the production lasts around an hour. Additionally, come support all of the other amazing artists at our Capstone Exhibition Reception on April 26th at 4:30 in the Foy Hall Lobby!

🧪 What does it take to outsmart cancer? Research.

The American Cancer Society has helped make possible almost every major cancer breakthrough since 1946. Since then, we've invested more than $5 billion in cancer research, making us the largest nonprofit funder of cancer research in the United States, outside of the federal government.

❓ Did you know that for every $100 you raise, you can help fund an hour of critical research?!
