Robert W. Iuliano, President
Robert W. Iuliano was appointed the 15th president of Gettysburg College in 2019. He has dedicated nearly his entire professional life to higher education, previously serving as Deputy to the President and Senior Vice President and General Counsel at Harvard University.
Since joining the Gettysburg College community, Iuliano has prioritized delivering today’s students with A Consequential Education. He believes in the College’s capacity and unique responsibility to take up the “unfinished work” of building a better, more just world. Positioned at the intersection of a defining moment in American democracy, and embedded within a historic town consecrated by President Abraham Lincoln and his iconic address in 1863, Gettysburg College has an important role to play in changing the current climate of polarization. Iuliano’s vision ensures that all Gettysburg students are the beneficiaries of a rigorous, residential liberal arts and sciences education, positioning them to grow into the effective leaders and socially responsible citizens our society needs.
Under Iuliano’s leadership, Gettysburg publicly launched Living Our Promise: The Strategic Direction for Gettysburg College in 2023, which seeks to more fully and purposefully integrate learning that occurs both within and beyond Gettysburg classrooms, and inspire students to lead lives of consequence through the cultivation of knowledge and enduring skills.
Iuliano is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Virginia School of Law. He and his wife, Susan Iuliano, have two sons.
