Workshop Overview
This is the final workshop in a series of face-to-face workshops that will bring the Change Agents and Administrators together during the course of this four-year project. This is the first workshop in the series that will bring together face-to-face both Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 Change Agents in one large group.
The workshop is designed to bring the Change Agents together with their institutions' administrators, as well as the project personnel, to share expertise and experiences gained throughout the course of the SAGE 2YC project.

In addition, each team will meet briefly with a member of the project evaluation and research team.
