Engagement

Gettysburg College will promote intellectual development, engagement, and leadership through active and innovative learning experiences.

Gettysburg attracts exceptionally bright and motivated students who expect to be fully involved in their learning inside and outside the classroom. To ensure our continued success at providing the kind of education they seek and deserve, we will create an unparalleled culture of engagement and active learning at Gettysburg.

This multifaceted effort will expand opportunities for students to collaborate with faculty on research and creative projects, broaden the range of options for off-campus learning in the U.S. and abroad, strengthen and promote co-curricular offerings as integral parts of the Gettysburg learning experience, and support an array of other initiatives that bring learning to life, cultivate independent thinking, teach lessons about leadership and teamwork, and promote active citizenship.

Gettysburg combines academic intensity with learning by getting involved-we aim to expand opportunities for both. In short, by pursuing the goals below, we will seek more ways to connect think with do.

Faculty Spotlight

John Commito
Environmental Studies

John Commito is a professor of environmental studies at Gettysburg, and the highlight of the year for many of his students is a two-week road trip (the catalogue calls it a "field experience") to study coastal ecology in Maine. The trip starts with people and a lot of gear piling into a van behind the Science Center on the Gettysburg campus.

"When students have these kinds of experiences," Professor Commito says, "it expands their horizons, makes them do things they never would have considered. They're given permission to pursue what they love. They see the possibilities of linking your family life to your professional life and your intellectual life--and that's very powerful. That's what a college like Gettysburg can offer."
