Individualized Major Jobs and Graduate School Acceptances

On the basketball court, Baggi helped Gettysburg improve its win total in each of the last three seasons and led the Bullets to the top seed in the Centennial Conference playoffs this past year. He was an engaged member of the campus community as well, serving as a fitness attendant and coordinator in the Jaeger Center and as a community advisor for the last three years with Residential Education. From helping the first-year class acclimate to campus during Move-In Day to his Senior Day game against Muhlenberg, Baggi created strong bonds across the campus community while pursuing an individualized major called journalism across digital media and a French minor. “The academic curriculum satisfied my goals and expectations by offering different types of courses where I could engage with new perspectives and get to know students from different backgrounds,” Baggi said. Following graduation, he is aiming to continue his playing career in Europe and pursue a master’s in sports journalism.

“A Gettysburg education is where you are known, and where you are heard,” Comegno said. “We benefited from the opportunities, the forums, the platforms, and the programs. They developed who we are and will set us apart in the future. There is no academic or extracurricular goal that I have set out to do that I have not fulfilled.” The son of Gettysburg alumni John ’94 and Marsha Hoffman Comegno ’94, Jack acted as a consummate leader for the student body during his four years, which culminated in being named president of the Class of 2024. He founded and chaired the Student Alumni Association and 2024 Advisory Group, participated in leadership programs with both the Garthwait Leadership Center (GLC) and Eisenhower Institute (EI), and served as a squad leader in the Blue Mountain Battalion. With an individualized major called leadership and administration in national security and minors in business and military science, Comegno will take the knowledge and enduring skills he’s gained at Gettysburg into a legal career in the armed services. He will be commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army at graduation and will go to law school before resuming his military duties with the Judge Advocate General (JAG).

 “I am most proud of the picnic that I planned at the Painted Turtle Farm in collaboration with OSAGL, Farm House, GECO, and Listeners and Performers,” said Fee. “It made me so happy and fulfilled to see so many people come together to enjoy the farm and the work of our peers.” Fee developed an individualized major called “The Philosophy of Poverty” to go along with a second major in English. She was a member of several campus organizations focused on sustainability and preservation, including Students for Indigenous Awareness/Gettysburg Acknowledging Local Earth and the President’s Climate Change and Sustainability Council. Fee, who studied abroad in Tunisia, will complete a service fellowship before pursuing a graduate degree in philosophy.

“I came to Gettysburg College because of its relationship to the past,” said Johnson. “I will never forget the early morning runs on Oak Ridge as the sun rose over the College campus, and the late evening walks with friends to watch the sun disappear and take that time to reflect. Gettysburg College’s historic ties to place and time inspired me to work as an intern at a National Park Service battlefield one summer. I will continue to draw meaning from this historic town when I return in the years to come, by either remembering my time here or finding new meaning from this landscape.” Johnson was an individualized studies major with minors in peace and justice studies and Civil War Era studies. He hopes to find career paths that combine his interests in education, community service, and first responding
