One-On-One Chats
About
(International alumni only) This volunteer opportunity allows you to share information about Gettysburg College and respond to any inquiries from students.
Description
Sometimes prospective families want to hear directly from international alumni, so we try to offer students the opportunity to communicate with one of our alumni volunteers who lives in his or her country either in-person or virtually. This is not an interview, but a chance for you to share information about Gettysburg and answer questions. At the beginning of the meeting, please inform the student that you are a local Gettysburg College alumnus/alumna and would like to try to answer any questions that they may have. At the end of the conversation, please be sure to thank the student and wish them well in their college search process. The volunteers get to build their network and reengage and relive Gettysburg life with students.
