Sexuality and Gender Equity - SAGE

What is this?

Sexuality and Gender Equality SAGE started training staff and students in November 2010. The Sexuality and Gender Equality (SAGE) committee, comprised of Student Life staff, members of FUSE (Foundation of Undergraduates for Sexual Equality) , and colleagues from across the University has developed comprehensive training to promote understanding, awareness and competencies related to gender and sexual identity.
