In October of 2016, Sisco served on a panel at St. Anselm College addressing the complications of Catholic identity and civic engagement - particularly voting - in the context of the 2016 presidential election. She was joined by Associate Dean for Faculty Christy Gustafson and associate professor of politics, Fr. Benedict Guevin. [6]
