One of our most popular programs, SAGE Stories is a storytelling series hosted by SAGE Magazine once a term. SAGE Stories gives a platform to members of the FES community to listen and be heard, connect with their peers, 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 FES 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.
This fall, the SAGE Stories theme is Left Field: Stories of Surprise. Join us in Bowers Auditorium at a time TBD on Thursday, November 14th! If you have a story of the unexpected that you’d like to share with the Yale Forestry community, we heartily encourage you to submit your pitch here. Pitches should be 150-200 words long, and the deadline for submission is noon on Wednesday, November 6th. We’ll take 8-10 storytellers at 8 minutes apiece– plenty of time to catch the audience off guard.
