Staffing
The SAGE Center discord server will not be staffed at all times as it is designed to be a space for community members to connect with each other. However, SAGE Center Ambassadors will periodically be available throughout the week to answer any questions that you may have, address your concerns, or provide more information about the SAGE Center.
The SAGE Center Ambassadors will generally be online during our normal hours of operation, Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm.
