Office of Campus Life
The Office of Campus Life oversees several key facets of student life: the residential experience, student activities and organizations, fraternity & sorority life, social event spaces, campus scheduling, event & technical support, and student rights & responsibilities. Our mission is to foster a vibrant, cohesive social and residential experience where all members of campus can build lasting relationships and contribute to the living-learning community we are a part of. Our support of student-centered and student-led opportunities is central to the work we do, creating an inclusive environment that promotes the success, well-being, and development of all Gettysburgians.
Build Community for All Gettysburgians
Create a fun, safe, and inclusive campus through activities and programs rooted in the residential experience, where students can find their own Gettysburg family, creating relationships and memories that will last a lifetime.
Support Students from Acceptance to Graduation
Promote each student’s persistence, growth, and well-being throughout their Gettysburg journey by proactively providing them resources, helping them navigate challenges and times of transition, and cultivating their sense of responsibility to themselves and the community.
Develop Leaders Ready for the Challenges of Today and Tomorrow
Facilitate intentional, meaningful opportunities that allow student leaders to develop and practice the Enduring Skills in ways that enhance their Gettysburg experience, help them stand out in competitive markets, and prepare them to be effective and impactful leaders in an ever-evolving world.
Empower the Community to Shape the Campus Experience
Create pathways that allow all members of the community to have an impact on campus life through efforts that advance the College’s mission and amplify the vibrancy of campus, while challenging students to think boldly about how they can leave their mark on Gettysburg College.
The Residential Experience
Living on campus provides students with the opportunity to build community with their peers, learn independent living skills, and more deeply connect with the campus community. We are here to support a healthy living environment where students can study, grow, and make lifelong friends.
Student Activities, Student Organizations, and Fraternity & Sorority Life
These are some of the experiences that make campus social life vibrant! We strive to enhance the quality of the student experience by developing and empowering student leaders to positively impact their communities, both during and beyond their collegiate experience. Whether it's fraternity & sorority philanthropy talent shows, RA-sponsored activities in the residence halls, club events, College-sponsored trivia nights, or the thousands of other events happening on campus, there is lots to do!
Student Rights & Responsibilities
We are here to help students stay safe and learn how to explore their independence as young adults. There are lots of learning moments that happen at college, and we seek to educate students on our policies and how to prevent harm from happening within our community. We support and enforce federal law, state law, and College policy to ensure students' safety and well-being while at college.
