Student Research

Each year, Gettysburg College helps scores of students from all disciplines obtain fellowships, scholarships, and grants to support research and creative activity carried out in close collaboration with faculty members.

	German Studies majors Carter McClintock '12 and Cory Rosenberg '12 worked with Prof. Laurel Cohen-Pfister on a project dealing with collective memory and identity. Both students wrote their senior theses about Gedächtnis der Nation, a multi-media internet site designed to present first-person testimonies and narratives of events in recent German history.

Cory Rosenberg presents his thesis, "Erinnerte Opferrollen: Die bleibende Wunde des Holocausts."	Carter McClintock presents his thesis, "Die Darstellung der Stasi in Gedächtnis der Nation."
