"The history of the region runs the full length of the river," Heald explains. "It's an incredible opportunity for our students to learn about art, architecture, and ecology as they travel the Hudson." Students also have the unusual privilege of seeing others "do" more at the undergraduate level as part of The Sage Colleges, including interacting with programs and students at the coed Sage College of Albany and the graduate schools of health sciences, management, and education. "There are exciting connections here - including accelerated pathways - to professional programs and experiences," Heald says. At Russell Sage, passion is built into the curriculum. So along with their diplomas, students earn a love for lifelong learning - and doing.

"When you come to college, you're taking responsibility for your own learning," says Dean Donna Heald. "But we also want you to take responsibility for doing."
