Inscription. The Centennial Mall is dedicated to the Adrian Dominican Sisters who founded St. Joseph's College for women in 1919. St. Joseph's College was renamed Siena Heights College in 1939 in honor of St. Catherine of Siena, and later renamed Siena Heights University in 1998. The Adrian Dominican Sisters' vision to "Seek Truth, Make Peace, Reverence Life," informs Siena's mission today. The four pillars of the Dominican Order - Prayer, Community, Study, and Preaching are honored in the center of the Centennial Mall below the sculpture, symbolically representing the Dominican Torch.
