Student Life

At Gettysburg, what happens outside the classroom is a vital extension of what happens inside. If you want to get involved -- and most Gettysburg students do -- the opportunities are almost endless.

Nearly 800 events per year range from talks by world leaders to art exhibitions, concerts, comedy nights, coffeehouses, and theater productions.

There are 120 student clubs and organizations at Gettysburg -- in sports, the arts, music, student government, outdoor recreation, community service and many other areas -- offering students more than 1,000 leadership opportunities.
