Laurel Petersen Solo Show at
Sand Lake Center for the Arts
Laurel Petersen, office coordinator in the Nutrition Science department and an Art + Extended Media student, has an exhibition of 40 illustrations at the Sand Lake Center for the Arts this June. A reception with refreshments, music, and frameable posters and cards will be on June 6, 2-4 p.m.
“I feel very fortunate that I have been able to take classes in the art programs here at Russell Sage College over the past nine years,” she said. “I will earn a BFA degree in a few semesters. Still, it’s the journey that’s the goal, not the degree. I am so thankful to both the Graphic + Media Design and Art + Extended Media faculty who have taught me so much!”

Sage Baseball Wins the Empire 8 Conference Championship for the First Time in Program History and a Spot in the NCAA Tournament!
Congratulations to the Sage baseball team for winning the Empire 8 Conference Championship – the program's first E8 conference championship title – on Saturday night by defeating Saint John Fisher 6-2. The Gators, who are ranked No. 23 and 25 in national baseball polls, have now secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament. They'll learn more about their draw in the tournament at the selection show on Monday.
This is only the second Empire 8 championship title earned by Sage athletics since it joined the conference in fall 2017. The other was sealed by women's soccer in 2021.
Sage has fielded a baseball program for five years, and the Gators have made the E8 Tournament finals in three of the past four. This season marks the first time the program has been nationally ranked.

The run ended on the second day of the double-elimination portion of the tournament when the Gators fell to Saint John Fisher 2-0.
