An important objective of the SAGE model is to encourage undergraduate students to go on to further studies in mathematics and mathematically intensive disciplines, at all levels. By means of visits to local regional colleges, addresses to their math clubs, and consultation with their faculty, local students are invited to participate in SAGE. They may observe the preparatory graduate seminars and/or the research workshops themselves. Most importantly, they are encouraged to attend a special outreach session held in conjunction with each workshop. See schedule above.
The special sessions give students opportunities to interact with visiting and local researchers. Participants may give expository talks about their research interests. These presentations will aim to introduce the students to current mathematical research interests in an accessible manner and to motivate them to further study in mathematics. Time will be set aside for panel discussions with graduate students and/or workshop participants. These discussions will provide an opportunity for interaction between the visiting experts, members of the regional mathematics community, and their students.
