College Life

The Division of College Life is committed to engaging students, faculty, administrators and staff in building and maintaining an educational community which fosters academic excellence, understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures and people, personal growth and responsibility, and mutual respect.

College Life is committed to supporting the academic work of students in the classroom and providing excellent opportunities for growth, development and learning outside of the classroom. Co-curricular learning is an important element of a Gettysburg College education as it provides students with the opportunity to engage in a wide range of experiences; a key component of a liberal arts education. 

Citizenship, diversity, integrity, and leadership are areas of emphasis for the co-curricular programs at Gettysburg College. These goals are extensions of the classroom experience and assist in the creation of a seamless learning environment for all members of our College community. Students at Gettysburg can be sure that these ideas will be reflected in clubs and organizations, athletic teams, residential life, service learning, and all of the other areas of student life at Gettysburg.
