Research Opportunities
Participation in SAGES includes a significant Senior Project or Thesis -- a valuable asset in job-seeking or to include in applications to graduate or professional school, and an important first step towards publishing your work. It is more than just learning the subject matter -- it is a chance to be actively involved in one's discipline. Opportunities for off-campus research and presentations, such as attending and participating in, academic conferences are also available.
