About Common Dialogue Day

What is Common Dialogue Day?

Common Dialogue Day is a Siena Heights University tradition rooted in our Catholic and Dominican heritage. This day allows for discussion, debate and reflection around prominent themes in the Dominican tradition; prayer, study, community, preaching/service. Siena Heights University cherishes its Catholic and Dominican heritage and expects that its graduates will embody values of these traditions as they are encountered throughout their academic experience.

In an atmosphere that fosters excellence, the liberal arts curriculum at Siena Heights University strives to engage all students in the diverse wisdom of cultures, past and present, to develop the kind of intellectual curiosity, discipline and judgment needed to fulfill their aspirations and to meet their obligations.

Common Dialogue Day has been a tradition unique to Siena Heights University. Beginning in 2000, Siena Heights has hosted a unique and enlightening experience for students, staff, faculty, and the community every year. Different themes are featured yearly with keynote speakers.
