Paul Gilbert and F.E. Reinartz’s stirring lyrics rang true at Reunion Weekend this past June. It was the first time the tradition had been held in over three years and the enthusiasm was palpable. Eighteen classes—hundreds of Gettysburg alumni in all—returned to campus for a celebration that was joyous, uplifting, and representative of all that makes our College so special.

Retired Psychology Prof. Bob D’Agostino’s teaching philosophy is about more than just passion. It’s about being a meaningful mentor—for life.

Utilizing the Gettysburg Network and sharing a deep desire to solve problems, Roger Nelson P’91, ’93 and Rod Tosten ’85 collaborated in the College’s Innovation and Creativity Lab to build a teddy bear that’s captivating hearts and strengthening minds—now known and loved as CueTeddy.

At Gettysburg College, our passionate community leans into important conversations. From our faculty and staff to our students and alumni, we witness experts, leaders, and innovators at work. They’re newsworthy in their endeavors and are recognized as such- consistently featured by both local and national media outlets. 

From mid-August to mid-September, the College received more than 33 media hits, with six of them being national mentions. Each mention is a testament to the great work that happens here and its ripple effects across the world.

The students visited the Alexander Hamilton statue in Boston during reading days. The students are Autumn Chassie, Jenna Giordano, Sam Allery, Ethan Wilt, Miranda Zamora, Katie Oglesby, Peter Halsey, Jack Herr, Delaney Borgquist, Patrick Mahoney, and Kyle Hammerness.

Professor Scott Boddery and a group of eleven majors visited Boston during Reading Days to conduct archival research at the JFK Presidential Library. Before diving into their research, they took in the sights around the city. Here they are in front of the Alexander Hamilton statue near Boston’s Public Garden.
