What is SAGE
Joining SAGE is an opportunity to meet other Indigenous graduate students and to discuss research ideas, challenges, and experiences. Attending SAGE gatherings can be a great place to find practical tips and resources regarding graduate studies revelant to Indigenous graduate and postdoctoral students.
SAGE Goals
- Increase the numbers of PhD/EdD Aboriginal and Indigenous students/graduates
- Assist all Indigenous students transitioning to master’s and doctoral programs
- Develop graduates with a cultural and community consciousness to positively affect change within Indigenous communities
- Support the academic success and cultural affirmation of students by linking their academic graduate research with culturally-informed mentors
- Establish and encourage mentorship pods and cohorts across the province in post-secondary institutions
- Create network opportunities and community- building for graduate students participating within and among pods/cohorts
- Collaborate with post-secondary institutions across Canada and beyond to foster new SAGE opportunities on national and international levels.
