SAGE stands for "Student Association for Global Exchange" in Tokyo Tech, Japan. In April 2009, SAGE was established with the aim of providing Tokyo Tech students with more opportunities of international exchange activities. Founders of SAGE are students who participated in the Japan-Asia Young Scientist and Engineer Study Visit (JAYSES), which is organized by Tokyo Tech International office.


Purpose

We aim at improving overseas student's awareness of Tokyo Tech, and also increasing international exchanging oppurtunities for Tokyo Tech student. To contribute to the international society with raising science and technological human resources who can be active and successful worldwide, we state two policies of our activities:
* with producing oppotunities of international exchange in Tokyo Tech, we build a worldwide network between scientific and technological students.
* using the network efficiently, we make effort to accelerate cross-border activities.

Not only voluntary activities such as organizing ASCENT program, at request of university's offices:International Cooperation Division and International Student Exchange Division of International affair, we offer campus tour for overseas visiter.
