WHAT IS SAGE?
The Student Association for Graduates in English (SAGE) is a student-run organization that functions as a collective voice for the representation of all graduate students at the University of Waterloo’s English department.
OUR COMMITMENT
We aim to keep graduate students in English informed about university affairs and any developments that impact their student experience.
We support graduate students in English as they work on reaching their academic goals and make the most of their university experience, by creating, organizing, and promoting events that enrich their professional development.
CONNECT. SUPPORT. REPRESENT
That's our priority
