Revitalized by new co-ordinators, the UCalgary program fosters community, cultural connection and academic success for Indigenous graduate students

The Supporting Aboriginal Graduate Enhancement (SAGE) program at the University of Calgary is embarking on an exciting new chapter. Designed to empower Indigenous graduate students through mentorship, connection and cultural engagement, SAGE UCalgary has become a vital community for Indigenous scholars. The program’s recent revitalization would not have been possible without the dedication of past coordinators Dr. Vicki Bouvier PhD, Ashley Cornect-Benoit and Kaitlyn Purcell, whose efforts established roots for its current growth.
