Sophomore Interview Month at Siena College

Introducing Sophomore Interview Month at Siena College

This May, Siena College is inviting high school sophomores to campus for their first college interview. A wonderful way to become acquainted with the college search in a welcoming and relaxed setting, this is an opportunity for your students to:

• Meet an admissions counselor
• Become comfortable with the interview format
• Ask questions about the college search process
• Begin thinking about the college “fit”
• Understand the importance of their current academic choices

Sophomore interviews will be conducted Monday thru Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the month of May. Appointments can be made online at www.siena.edu/visit or by phone at 1-888-AT-SIENA.

A Message From Robert Redford About YoungArts

There is a moment in any young artist’s life where they ask the question: am I good enough? In that moment of crisis, they need encouragement to follow their dream; they need a mentor who can tell them that yes, they are good enough; another artist to tell them that their talent is real. It took me a long time to be as focused, as sure, and as committed as I am today as an artist. If it weren’t for the mentors who led me through my moments of doubt, I would not be where I am today.

As a YoungArts Master Teacher, I have personally seen how YoungArts has helped foster the exceptional talent of young artists who come through the YoungArts program. I have seen this not only through the mentorship the program provides, but also through the amazing opportunities they give to these young artists, such as:

•    cash awards of up to $10,000 ($500,000+ awarded each year)

•    facilitating access to significant scholarships from colleges

     (approximately $75 million in the past two years)

•    an exclusive path to nomination as a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts

•    lifetime access to career opportunities and a network of 20,000+ alumni

•    a chance to appear on the Emmy-nominated HBO series YoungArts MasterClass

If you know any literary, visual, design or performing artists (ages 15-18 or grades 10-12) in your school, I urge you to encourage them to apply to this life-changing program. For more information on the application process, visit youngarts.org/apply.
