Tell Us Your Stories about Sister Ann Joachim, OP

The Alumni Office wants to expand its memory bank about Siena’s early faculty. We have dates and titles; but we want your memories—anecdotes and personal stories that help to bring those teaching legends to colorful life. Our first faculty focus is Sr. Ann Joachim.

Here’s what we know now: Teacher of Social Science, 1931-32, ’36-’38; Legal Counsel and Professor of History, 1939-71. Practicing attorney and the first nun admitted to practice law before the U.S. Supreme Court (1936). Known for her demanding oral exams (“If you don’t hear it the first time, there’s no second chance!”). Served as vice mayor and city commissioner in Adrian, 1971-75. Coached basketball. Also a tennis champion and licensed pilot. Fought to keep the Wabash Cannonball rolling up into Adrian.
