About CARE

Evaluation

The purpose of the CARE Group is two-fold.  First, CARE works with the campus community to identify specific students that may be showing signs of distress or other issues and ensure that they are getting the support and resources that they need in order to succeed academically and socially at Gettysburg College.  This includes holding regularly scheduled CARE meetings and having a comprehensive conversation about how specific students should be supported and/or held accountable by connecting them with the appropriate resources in the College and greater community. 

The second purpose of this group is to coordinate education and develop communication protocols so that all members of our community understand when and how to refer students to the CARE Group. This includes regular dissemination of information to the community.  CARE will work with the community to refer all students of concern to the Dean of Students office (CUB 220) at (717) 337-6921.  Community members may also email Dean Julie Ramsey (ramsey@gettysburg.edu) or Jeff Foster (jfoster@gettysburg.edu).

In cases where someone may suffer imminent harm, the Department of Public Safety should be contacted immediately at (717) 337-6911.
