About Us

The Student Association of the Geneva Experiment Station (SAGES) is led by students pursing Master's and Doctorate degrees in the agricultural sciences and holds events open to the entire Cornell AgriTech at The New York State Agriculture Experiment Station Community. SAGES exists to promote leadership, to encourage the study of agricultural issues relevant to the State of New York, and to promote a better relationship between the Station and the population of the city of Geneva and surrounding communities. Members have an expressed interest in the advancement of the agricultural sciences through research, outreach, extension, and education. SAGES events include welcome picnics, presentations on various research topics, day trips to area attractions, potlucks, and cider making, among other events. In addition, each year SAGES makes and sells apple cider and then uses the proceeds to fund a $500 scholarship which is awarded to an area high school senior who intends to pursue a career in agriculture.
