Goucher College invites active adult learners to join a new community of students

Introducing the Sage Academy for Lifelong Learning (Sage)

What’s Sage?

Sage is the embodiment of Goucher's commitment to lifelong learning. Through a multi-faceted and intergenerational approach, Sage's noncredit academics will enable active adult learners to engage directly with esteemed Goucher faculty, staff, students, and field professionals as they explore together a wide variety of compelling topics, as well as share ideas and stories in a socially and intellectually stimulating collegiate environment. Through Sage we encourage you to stretch your mind with stimulating classes and discussions, nurture your spirit with focused engagement, and share experiences with friends old and new across generations. Imagine the possibilities!

How did Sage debut?
