Sage Hartmann, She/Her
Taanishi (hello)! My name is Sage Hartmann, and I am a fourth-year Indigenous student majoring in Psychology Neuroscience and Behavior at McMaster University. In my spare time, I drink lots of coffee and enjoy making small talk in Zoom breakout rooms.
I was inspired to apply to CityLAB after vicariously living through the experiences of friends who are (now) CityLAB alumni; the unique, interdisciplinary nature of CityLAB attracted my attention. This experience has allowed me to learn from my peers and instructors' diverse academic and experiential backgrounds and ultimately challenged how I critically examine the current social systems and my position within society. In general, the enriched experiential learning has broadened my understanding of various city-wide challenges. Meanwhile, community engagement opportunities have allowed me to apply my knowledge and skills to project work and create meaningful change.
