“The arts immersion trip to London was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience for Sage students to not only explore England, but to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the arts.”
Megan Paluzzi, ’22
“Studying abroad has completely transformed my life. Not only have I learned more about the world around me, but I’ve also learned a lot about myself. I’ve become more independent in the few months I’ve been away from home, and this trip has instilled a love of travel in me that no doubt will last a lifetime. I feel truly blessed for this experience. Thank you, Sage!
