SAGE Swimmers Medal
at Maryland Senior Olympics:
Fulfilling Dreams, Conquering Fears,
One Stroke at a Time
Gloria Clarke just learned how to swim this
February 2017 in a SAGE class taught by Susan
Shell, Brenda Jenkins, and Marsha Jones-Byron
at Allentown Road Aquatic Center. So, she would                L to R: Veronica Boggs, Gloria Clarke, Pamela Gulley, Diane Hunter
NOT have predicted that she would be swimming
competitively in the Maryland Senior Olympics (MSO), held on September 16, 2017… let alone, winning a
bronze medal in both the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard freestyle! “We are all really proud of our seniors
and their accomplishments,” said instructor Susan Shell. “It is such a pleasure to work with this outstanding
group. I watched them persevere through difficult training, by practicing really hard, empowering each other,
and encouraging one another.”
Gloria, along with her friends and teammates, Pamela Gulley, Diane Hunter, and Veronica Boggs, brought
home a total of nine medals and one ribbon from the MSO. It was Pamela, after volunteering as a class assistant
and helping teach her colleagues to swim, who suggested that they try competing in the Senior Olympics and
experience the excitement. And Pamela set a good example! She brought home the gold in 100-yard backstroke,
silver in 50-yard front crawl, and bronze in the 50-yard breaststroke.
Diane Hunter stated, “I learned how to swim as part of the SAGE Therapeutic Aquatic classes three years ago…
While learning and practicing our swimming skills, the four of us bonded, supported, and encouraged one
another to overcome our fears, try our very best to improve, and get better each and every session.” It worked!
Diane won bronze medals in the 50-yard freestyle, the 50-yard backstroke, and the 100-yard backstroke.
Veronica Boggs’ first class in SAGE was Therapeutic Aquatic Exercise in 2014 at the recommendation of her
orthopedic surgeon in preparation for a knee replacement. “I hadn’t given any thought to entering the Mary-
land Senior Olympics until I was made aware of this opportunity by Pamela Gulley. Even after registering
for the competition I kept asking myself, why? Pamela’s infectious enthusiasm, constant coaching tips, and
endless words of encouragement played a major role in my decision.” And it paid off! Veronica won a gold
medal in the 50-yard backstroke and a fourth place ribbon in the 50-yard freestyle.
What a difference a SAGE class—mixed with equal parts motivation, endurance, competitive spirit, and
camaraderie—makes!!! Gloria, a type 2 diabetic, has lost weight and now has her A1C level down. Diane shares,
“The classes that I am taking from SAGE are wonderful because these classes have helped me to fulfill two
lifelong dreams: learning how to swim and learning how to play the piano. These accomplishments have
truly added joy, fun, and a sense of fulfillment and pride to my retirement.” Veronica says, “I have benefited
tremendously from the SAGE Program because I have a lot of fun. I have met many people who share a
common goal of trying to live a healthier lifestyle.”
These strong, energetic, determined, and motivated women range in age from the mid-sixties to the
mid-seventies, fueling the adage, “It’s never too late to learn.” They are an inspiration to us all. Let us know
if SAGE has made a difference in your life and we may be able to share your story in a future class schedule.

               Important College Registration Policy
               The policy of Prince George’s Community College is to prohibit enrollment in multiple classes meeting
               at the same time, on the same day and dates.
               Students must choose the classes they want to attend and make sure there are no conflicts of time/day/date
               on the schedules. This may mean registering for a different section of a desired class.
               Teachers are instructed not to allow students to attend classes for which they are not officially registered.
               Please be careful to register for all classes—but be mindful of others.
               The SAGE Program is a great value, but please only register for classes that you plan to attend.

               Age Restriction
               Although the SAGE Program permits students under 60 years old to pay tuition and participate in some
               classes, many senior class sites have an age restriction. Therefore, anyone under the age of 60 wanting to
               enroll in a SAGE class must first get permission from the class site manager to make sure he or she meets
               the age participation requirements. Some site limitations are listed in the Site Directory on pages 6–7.

Three Ways to Register for SAGE Classes
1 Online through Owl Link
Owl Link is PGCC’s online registration system. It is the fastest, safest, easiest, and best way to get the classes you want.
You must register no later than one day before class begins.
     A. Go to the college’s home page at www.pgcc.edu.
     B. Click on “Owl Link” which is in small print at the top of the page. This will take you to Owl Link’s MAIN MENU.
        NEW STUDENT: You have never attended a PGCC program or class.
        To register, follow the steps below.
        You will be e-mailed an Owl Link Username/ID and temporary password (which you modify to become
        your permanent password). Please retain them to facilitate all future Owl Link transactions.
          1. From the MAIN MENU, click on Workforce Development and Cont. Ed. Students.
          2. Under Cont. Ed. Registration, click on Enroll and Register for Courses.
          3. Click on “Create a student account.”
          4. On the Personal Identification screen, fill in all required fields (indicated by an * asterisk).
             Check the box at the bottom of page. Click SUBMIT.
          5. On the Confirm Personal Info screen, check the box at the bottom of the page. Click SUBMIT.
          6. For security, you will receive two separate e-mails: one with your Owl Link Username/ID and
             another with your temporary password.
          7. Once you have this information, return to MAIN MENU and click LOG IN.
             Login using the Username/ID and exact password sent to you in your e-mails.
          ALERT: You will immediately see the message “Your password has expired!”
                 Don’t panic! This is expected!
          8. You now have to reset your password. The password you create must have at least 8 (eight) characters
             which must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and at least one number.
             You cannot use your username/ID as your password and cannot use recent passwords.
          9. Once you have successfully logged into Owl Link, you will be returned to the MAIN MENU.
             Proceed now to section “C” of these directions to register for your classes.
        RETURNING STUDENT: You have previously enrolled in any course at PGCC.
         You will need to LOG IN to Owl Link in order to register.
         1. If you have received a Username/ID and password previously but do not remember your login information,
            follow the appropriate links on the login screen to retrieve your Username/ID and/or password.
         2. If you have registered for any PGCC classes before but have never received a Username/ID and password,
            you must contact the Help Desk at 301-546-0637 or e-mail helpdesk@pgcc.edu to receive them.
            You must have your Student ID# available when you contact the Help Desk.
            If you do not know your Student ID#, call the WDCE Customer Service Desk at 301-546-0159 to request it.

                               The SAGE Team is unable to take phone-in registrations.
         Please                Please register one of the three ways listed: online, in-person, or by mail.
                               Out-of-state registrants, regardless of age, pay full tuition, a $25 registration
                               fee, and a $10 surcharge, per class, per trimester. (see page 5)
