SAGE Cultural Trip!

also given a tour of the library

and enjoyed a free meal. We

hope you’ll join us next time!

I’m graduating, what’s next?

We have declared April as Mentoring Month in SAGE! Stop in

and visit with our wonderful mentors during their office hour, or

schedule a time to meet with them separately, and you’ll receive a

surprise treat! Office hours posted on SAGE bulletin board.

I’m not sure if I’m actually

registered for my classes.

Help please!

I’m graduating, what’s

next?

Should I take online

classes or not?

I am worried about my finances

next semester.

April Mentoring Schedule

What Could I Do with My Life?

If you find yourself asking that question, join Kim Perkins this month for a new SAGE

workshop series that will help you find your “why”; your purpose and those things in

your life which are most meaningful. Our “why” relates to career choices and also

those hobbies and activities we decide to participate in outside of work. The work-

shop series will be interactive and engaging, with hands-on activities and

discussion. The workshop dates are as follows:

April 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 30th from 12:30 - 1:30 in the

SAGE area. Hope that you can join us!

Brain Teasers

1) Your parents have six sons including you and each son has one sister. How many people are

in the family?

2) A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He

had nothing and nowhere to hide. He came home all wet, but not a single

hair on his head was wet. Why is that?

3) Forrest left home running. He ran a ways and turned left, ran the same

direction and turned left again, ran the same distance and turned left

again. When he got home, there were two masked men. Who were they?

4) Paul’s height is six feet, he’s an assistant at a butcher’s shop, and wears

size 9 shoes. What does he weigh?
