To create an educational experience embodying the principles of sound mind and sound body, by incorporating academic and social accountability with organized sports. Each SAGE fellow has pledged, in signed writing, to uphold themselves as pillars of the community at all times, in all situations, whether at school, team activities, or in the community at large. The SAGE vision is to build the capacity of intellectually prepared, accountable student-athletes who will graduate from four-year, accredited universities, and go on to be pillars in the community, as well as role models who will reach back and lift up others through their efforts.
