Dear Campus Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of the passing of our friend and colleague, Charlene Felton.
Charlene was a beloved member of our support staff for 24 years. She joined our employee community when she was in high school and ultimately became a staple of our dining operations, most recently at the Bullet Hole. To all those who knew her well, she was defined by her strength, authenticity, and compassion.
Please keep Charlene’s two young children; her mother, Anita; her aunt, Angie; and her friends and loved ones in your thoughts.
Human Resources and Dining Services have coordinated on-site support for employees through our WellSpan Employee Assistance Program (EAP). If you find yourself in need of support, please connect with EAP representatives this afternoon in the Bullet Hole and Dining Hall.
Additional campus resources are available to support you during this difficult time:
- All employees – WellSpan Employee Assistance Program at 1-800-673-2514
- All students – Counseling and Wellness Services at counseling@gettysburg.edu or 717-337-6960
- All students – College Life, Cristina Garcia at cgarcia@gettysburg.edu or 717-337-6921
- All students – UWill Teletherapy at app.uwill.com
- All students and employees – Religious and Spiritual Life, Chaplain Bright at mbright@gettysburg.edu or 717-337-6282
Charlene was committed to our students and the College in ways that made us a better community. We will sorely miss her.
Sincerely,
Bob Iuliano
President
