Job Shadowing

Let a Gettysburg College student walk in your shoes for a day!

Students shadow alumni and parents at places of employment that fit their career interests and aspirations. They will meet you at your place of business and spend the day observing you in action.

Job Shadowing takes place each January before the start of the semester.  Complete our volunteer form to get started.

Quotes from 2008 Alumni and Parent Volunteers:


Peter Langenus P'05, Partner/Attorney
Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, New York, NY 
The students [...] were absolutely fabulous.  They were very focused, remained interested during a long day, and asked good questions.  The most impressive group of shadowing students that I have met so far; they were an impressive advertisement for Gettysburg College.

Gregory L Schell '81, Attorney
Gregory L Schell, LLC, Philadelphia, PA
I really enjoyed this experience.  I think the students were the main reason why it was so enjoyable.  The students are very personable, thoughtful, and realized the opportunity I gave to them.  I think they enjoyed their experience since they did not leave my office until 7:00 pm.  I would gladly participate in this program in the future. 

Libby Main DeVecchi '99, Senior Director of Communications
University of Massachusetts, President's Office, Boston, MA
I enjoyed the experience and because my field, communications, is specialized and competitive for entry level jobs, I wish I would have had a day like this when I was a Gettysburg student.
