The Student Association for Geography, Geomatics, and the Environment (SAGE) actively engages with our student body through various initiatives including: networking opportunities, skill learning and social events.

Highlights from the 2023/2024 academic year include: the Young Professionals in Sustainability Panel during Sustainability Week, Career Networking Night with the UTM Career Centre, nature walks with the UTM Ornithology Club and ROP night in collaboration with GGE professors.

SAGE also collaborates with groups external to the department such as the UTM Indigenous Office to create an Indigenous Voices Playlist, host social game nights and nature walks. Through these diverse events, SAGE fosters connections with departments, organizations, and student-led clubs across the campus.
