The Intern Journal: Beestera Soccer Training

Ant Rouse '25 was a Siena soccer fanatic long before he was a Siena soccer player. The Albany native went to games as a kid and would try to score autographs from his favorite players. Once, when he was about nine, he grabbed a signature from his all-time favorite Saint, James Beeston '14. Who could have imagined that same signature would one day be on his checks?

Saints Make a Taxing Situation Easier

Doing your own tax return can be complicated and stressful. Having an accountant or tax preparer do it can run you at least a couple hundred dollars, which puts that option out of reach for many. To address this issue while getting useful professional experience, a group of about 30 Siena business students have earned their IRS tax prep certification and are helping local community members prepare and file their tax returns.
