We have performed a uniform and unbiased imaging survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud, using the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. This Spitzer survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud is surveying the agents of a galaxy's evolution (SAGE), the interstellar medium and stars. The SAGE data are nonproprietary and the team has been creating catalogs and improved images for use by the astronomical community. This paper highlights some of the initial results being published by the SAGE team covering the topics of evolved stars and their mass-loss return to the ISM, young stellar objects and the properties of the ISM dust.
