Hello Global Gettysburgians!
Just because you’re back on campus doesn’t mean the impact of your global study experience has to end; there are many ways to engage with, and reflect upon, your global study experience, and share it with the broader campus community! One of these ways is to join the Global Leaders of Gettysburg College (GLGC)! CGE invites you to sign-up to participate at the bottom of this page.
The GLGC is designed to help returned global study students connect their global study experiences to their lives on- and off-campus. Participating in GLGC offers you a framework to continue developing the academic, professional, and personal skills that were fostered during your global study semester. Additionally, it continues to build our Gettysburg College community by offering opportunities for you to mentor and support future cohorts of global study students!
One of the best parts of GLGC is that it is flexible, and will fit into everyone’s schedule because you choose what to participate in. There are no mandatory events or meetings you need to attend, but there are a lot of ways to be involved! Below you’ll find some examples of the many ways GLGC members are active on campus.
To recognize exceptional participation in the GLGC, eligible students will be awarded an honor cord to wear at Commencement signifying their completion of the GLGC program!
