Parents Leadership Council

About

The Parents Leadership Council (PLC) is the leadership-giving society for current parents at Gettysburg College. The PLC brings together Gettysburg College parents who provide philanthropic support of college programs for the benefit of our students. The group experiences a unique connection and relationship with the College and other PLC parents

Description

PLC members contribute to Gettysburg with annual gifts of at least $5,000. This support enriches the Gettysburg Fund and other areas of the College that are meaningful to each PLC family. Members also engage with the campus community in unique ways throughout the year, such as private events during Family Weekend and spending time with College leadership and fellow families during PLC weekend in the spring.
