SAGA Volunteers

Promoting Global Awareness

At Saint Mary’s, there's lots of ways to get involved. In fact, you may want to consider volunteering for Students Acting for Global Awareness (SAGA), a group of international and Canadian students who organize on- and off-campus events that promote awareness of the different cultures represented at Saint Mary's University.

These events include:

  • International Night
  • Casino Night
  • Multicultural Arts Expose
  • Game nights
  • Movies nights
  • Halloween events

Find us on social media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
