Campaign for Gettysburg


President Janet Morgan Riggs '77President Janet Morgan Riggs '77

In May 2011, the Gettysburg College Board of Trustees voted unanimously to enter the leadership phase of a comprehensive campaign, effective June 1, 2011.

The campaign will focus on enhancing students' learning experience in significant ways. Specifically, we will raise current and endowed funds to support:

  • Scholarships, so that a Gettysburg education is accessible to all qualified students;
  • New faculty positions and professional development of our current faculty;
  • Learning experiences beyond the classroom that will teach students to translate their education into action;
  • The infusion of a global focus into the student experience, and the renovation of Plank to support that focus;
  • And, via the Gettysburg Fund, an exceptional learning experience for students year after year.

The campaign is being led by Trustee Bob Joseph '69. Currently chair of the Campaign Steering Committee, Bob also chaired the Campaign Planning Committee. Learn more about Bob Joseph '69 and the Campaign Steering Committee.
