Gettysburg College is invested in our students’ success before they even step foot on campus.
From the moment they are accepted, each student joins our active and global Gettysburg Network of more than 30,000 alumni, plus passionate faculty and community leaders, offering resources and expertise to support and elevate students to achieve their goals during their college career and beyond. Every day, our community is forging mentoring relationships that span careers and that last a lifetime.

Our students Do Great Work, with access to:
- Generations of Gettysburgians, which are forever part of their network,
- Thousands of opportunities for career exploration through internships, job shadowing, mentoring, and more, and
- Connections in every industry to help get employed within one year after graduation or land a spot in a graduate program in their field of interest.






“I wouldn’t be where I am today without tremendous support from former Gettysburg grads. That first step in your career after leaving undergrad, regardless of occupation, is a tough one. Just as someone took a chance on me and gave me an opportunity that started my career, I think it’s critical to do the same for current students or younger grads in a similar situation.”

“The people you meet during your time at Gettysburg will serve as resources during your time here and later join you as a part of the alumni network. These passionate Gettysburgians will be there to support you and fellow alumni with any career advice and recommendations needed. I’ve come to realize the importance and strength of the Gettysburg Network throughout my college experience.”
