Leadership Showcase

The Leadership Showcase: A Legacy of Purpose and Growth

The Leadership Showcase is an annual event serving as a multi-day celebration of leadership growth, self-discovery, and community impact at Gettysburg College. This experience provides a formal stage where students transition from practitioners to storytellers, sharing how they have navigated complex challenges to develop the skills necessary for lives of meaning and consequence. Through a series of panels and poster presentations culminating in a formal gala, the Showcase reveals why leadership development is foundational to the liberal arts and highlights Gettysburg College’s distinctive commitment to leadership for public purpose.

Beyond displaying student accomplishments, the event is an opportunity to appreciate the faculty, staff, and alumni whose contributions are instrumental in implementing our programming. It is a testament to the idea that leadership is not just a position, but a lifelong process of learning.
