To those gathered at the Summit on the Future on Sept. 22-23, 2023, President Bob Iuliano shared four requests:
1. Express interest in being an Alumni Mentor.
2. Offer a career experience, such as an internship or job shadowing opportunity.
3. Galvanize your Gettysburg Network by getting involved and inspiring your friends to join you.
4. Support a Guided Pathways experience by making a gift.
Alumni responded with enthusiasm for the College’s future, including Ben Pontz ’20, current Harvard Law School student:
“What I heard this weekend was a plan that bets on ourselves and our core strengths as an institution—our faculty, our co-curricular programs, and especially our students. It’s authentically Gettysburg, it’s quite ambitious, and it is going to require an all-hands-on-deck effort from friends of the College to make it happen,” wrote Pontz on LinkedIn. “We may not all have the capacity to give huge sums [of money] to the College, but the on-the-ground experiences young alumni have in early career maneuvering, graduate school admissions, and remembering what it was like to be a Gettysburg student are exactly what the College needs from us.”
