Alumni Sponsors

Our SAGE Alumni continuously and generously give back

In 2021, our SAGE Alumni Nadine Tawfik ‘ 18 and Roz Dastourian-Fard ‘ 20 launched an alumni-led fundraising campaign at the end of summer and combined it with a generous gift made by our partners at ENO Brands.

Our alumni network, ENO Brands, and several community partners, friends, and UCI faculty and staff rallied together to raise close to $10,000 in support of current SAGE students’ awards! These funds went a long way in helping 23 current UCI SAGE Scholars transition safely back to campus and access the necessary materials, equipment and resources to be successful in their schooling, research, and professional development. These gifts remove financial barriers for our scholars and made a difference.

Thank you to every member of our community for joining us in setting these students up for success. Their future looks even more brilliant because of you!

2018-2019 Alumni Sponsors; Working WardrobesIn 2018, a group of SAGE Alumni led an alumni fundraising campaign. Our alumni raised almost $6,000 to fund a partnership with Working Wardrobes. Sixty students received complimentary professional outfits upon the completion of two career-readiness workshops, which focused on the power of image and non-verbal communication. This fundraising campaign is a testament to how impactful the SAGE Scholars Program is for our students and alumni. Once you join the SAGE family, you are a part of it forever.
