Jenna Sieracki will graduate this month, after what she describes as many transformative experiences and opportunities from her time at Daemen.
An international business major with a minor in history and political science, Sieracki looks forward to pursuing a career in data analytics with the goal of working in a non-governmental organization (NGO) to utilize her skills and knowledge to help others.

Throughout her time at Daemen, Sieracki has also sought to serve her fellow students. She has been an active member of Daemen’s Student Government Association (SGA), for instance, most recently leading the body as its president.
She also worked as a diversity ambassador, alumni ambassador, and as a student assistant in the Office of Admissions.
As Sieracki prepares to receive her diploma, we wanted to learn more about her time at Daemen and her goals as she looks to the future.
Why did you choose to come to Daemen?
Both my sister, Jordan Sieracki ’14, and my brother, Jacob Sieracki ’18, are Trustee Scholar alums of Daemen.
When it was my time to apply for college, I visited Daemen and it felt like home. As soon as my mom began to drive home, I said I was going to submit my application deposit right away.
I continue to be involved on campus because it’s like my home and I want to see it grow.
What is a main accomplishment through the SGA that you are proud of?
Overall, SGA has come a long way in the last five years. It’s no longer only a student organization that gives away money, but also a governing body on campus that creates positive change.
As SGA president, I have had a great team and we have supported each other.
In fact, earlier this month we were awarded funding to provide free menstrual products on campus during Daemen’s 2022 Equity Summit as part of the Campus Justice Challenge.
The initiative was brought up by SGA vice president Tyme Williams. We held each other accountable and worked over the last year to make a very strong proposal. 
The SGA, the CHIP Center, Student Activities and Student Affairs, and others will be involved with this initiative for years to come.
I’m happy I was able to leave a handprint through this project.
It started as one small initiative, but I think it will make a big difference.
What motivates you to get involved?
I want to make change. I’ve always wanted to be the leader that I once needed and a role model for first-year students.
Faculty and staff at Daemen have always been so positive and kind to me. I wanted to provide positively to others as well because you never know what someone is going through.
What are your plans for the future?
Right now, I’m interviewing for several different data analytics positions in Buffalo.
I’ve been putting myself out there and making sure my resume is up to date.
I’m ready to start my life right after graduation.
What advice do you have for students who are looking to attend Daemen in the fall?
You’re going to grow from freshman year. Embrace the change and whenever you need help, all you have to do is ask.
Daemen is great for helping people and you will have the resources to be successful.
I’m definitely not the same person I was in freshman year. Every time I’ve embraced change, I’ve succeeded.
