Alumni Benefits

You got a great education and most likely have a diploma hanging on your wall to prove it. But there are some other perks that go with being a Gettysburgian, and we encourage you to take advantage of them.

• Bullet Points - our online alumni newsletter with the latest on Gettysburg and Gettysburgians.



• Gettysburg College License Plates - Drive your pride. This attractive Gettysburg license plate features the familiar profile of Penn Hall's cupola. Contact us to request your application. This offer is valid for PA residents only. Please do NOT order your Gettysburg plate directly from PennDot because the Alumni Office must process your application first.



• College Store discounts - Get a percentage discount on one item equal to the number of years since you graduated, up to 50 percent. It only works if you're wearing your class-year button, available from the Alumni Office. (Discount applies only if you are wearing your class button and applies to any one (1) item purchased per day on in-stock merchandise only - no special orders. Cannot be combined with sales and other special promotion.) 

• Gettysburg College Credit Card - Support your alma mater with every purchase. You'll help spread the word about Gettysburg, and every time you use the card, a portion of your payment will go to the College to help current students. 



• Penn Club of New York - As an alum you qualify for affiliate membership at this upscale university club in the heart of Manhattan, with a health club and fitness center, formal dining room, guest rooms, and other amenities. Call 212-403-6616 to make arrangements. And when you're traveling elsewhere, reciprocal arrangements give you access to some 40 other clubs nationwide.



• Legacy Weekend - Have a child who's thinking about college? Bring him or her to Legacy Weekend, held during Homecoming to give children of alumni a comprehensive introduction to the College. Students will attend workshops about the admissions process, the campus visit, and the application process. Alumni children will be the guests of Gettysburg College students who will take them to class, host them in the residence halls, and eat with them in the campus Dining Center. Parents are encouraged to attend parallel sessions, including a workshop about financial aid, the value of a liberal arts education, issues related to the transition to college, and an insider's look at what is happening at Gettysburg College.
