As I speak to business and community leaders throughout California, I am constantly reminded of the increasing shortage of qualified individuals to fill the demands of our state’s blossoming economy. The SAGE Scholars program is a unique opportunity for business sponsors to provide students with leading edge career choices through mentoring and internships. I encourage you to support the University of California in preparing tomorrow’s leaders and innovators. Your participation is not only self-rewarding, but also pivotal in the lives of these young people.
