Brian C. Belanger

Director, Center for International Programs at Siena College

As a Franciscan friar, Brother Brian is inspired not only by Saint Francis’ many journeys, but more importantly by his embrace of all peoples, no matter their background or belief. Francis’ desire to lead others in building a world of peace and equity serves as the model for international endeavors at Siena. Br. Brian worked for four years in Spain, and, as a Fulbright-Hayes recipient, in Mexico for one year. He is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross, earned an MA from Middlebury College, and holds a Ph.D. in Latin American Studies from Tulane University.
