A Message from the Program Director:

With this ever-changing landscape in which we now find ourselves, Goucher College remains committed to providing quality education in a safe environment.

Resources are being redirected to ensure our students, faculty, staff, and guests' well-being as Goucher charts a new path forward. As a result, the Sage Academy for Lifelong Learning will be sunsetted to help in these efforts toward redirection.

As the founding director, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for taking a leap of faith with me. In two years, we have transitioned from a pilot program to one that engaged over 400 people throughout the greater Baltimore region. Together we created a community of curious, convivial, and concerned citizens who sought intellectual stimulation in a collegiate environment.

Though I will miss interacting with you through Sage, I am confident that we will cross paths again through our shared affection for Goucher College.

Speaking of affection for the college, please take a few minutes to watch a very moving video that features 40 alumnae/i from Goucher's Red Hot Blue ("RHB") contemporary a capella music ensemble, spanning more than 25 graduation years, across multiple nations. They have reunited to release a wildly inventive song supporting Goucher's current Black students and their alma mater during a time of national unrest due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a reawakening to racial inequity in America.

With all best wishes,

Judy Cohen, MACS ‘12
