One of our most popular and beloved programs, SAGE Stories is a storytelling series hosted by SAGE Magazine twice a year. SAGE Stories gives a platform to members of the YSE community to listen and be heard, connect with one another’s unique histories, and share the diverse perspectives and lived experiences that make our school so special.
Each term, SAGE Magazine announces the storytelling theme and solicits pitches from YSE students, faculty, staff, and friends to share on-stage in front of a captive (and enthusiastic) audience. We work with participants to hone and craft their stories in advance of the show, and we encourage them to share their storytelling skills with others. The spring SAGE Stories coincides with our print edition release.
