GETTing College Ready
GETTing College Ready is the virtual summer engagement series for new Gettysburg College students. These events, held virtually, are for incoming First-Year students, transfer students, and their families to learn more about the transition to Gettysburg College, ask questions about upcoming deadlines and processes, and get acquainted with the offices, programs, and opportunities that are available to new students.
Sessions will begin in late May and run through early August 2025.
