Faculty Opportunities At-a-Glance Mentor/Sponsor Students Showcase Your Student/Faculty Collaboration Moderate a Panel Presentation Attend Celebration

Celebration is Gettysburg College's annual all-campus, all-disciplines Colloquium on Undergraduate Research, Creative Activity, and Community Engagement.

Every student participant must have a faculty or administrator sponsor.  In fact, faculty participation is instrumental in the success of Celebration! 

Your involvement can happen in a number of ways -- from mentoring student participants, to moderating a panel, to attending the event. Perhaps most importantly, Celebration offers an ideal venue in which to showcase your faculty-student collaboration efforts while you support your collaborating students.
