Nora Tidey ’18

Major: Psychology

“Law can be a powerful vehicle for achieving social justice.”

At Gettysburg College, pursuing your passions can open doors for your future. Majoring in psychology may not seem like the typical path for a law student, but for Nora Tidey ’18 it was the right decision.

“My psychology background has given me a unique perspective in law school...” (Shortened for brevity)

Now in her first year at Temple University, Tidey is drawn to specializing in family law.
