You will NOT be able to sign up without these.Additionally, if you don’t already have it, please ensure you have the SAGE sticker on your ID. You can get it from Stephen Doherty at the Graduate Programs Office at 44 CummingtonStreet, Room 114. This will help us verify that you are a SAGE member.

Please try and bring exact change. This includes the bus ride to and from the place, rafting experience, a snack stop halfway into our rafting trip and a barbecue at the end of it !

On May 9, SAGE went on a wet n' wild adventure down the Concord River in Lowell, MA. 20 members set off down the river where boats were flipped, members were soaked, and new friendships were made while learning about the revitalization of the river. At the end of the trip, the rafts went through the lower canal locks in Lowell, providing a unique experience. See photos of the rafting |
