About our location

Gettysburg College

4 year • Gettysburg, PA

Gettysburg College is a private institution that was founded in 1832. It has a total undergraduate enrollment of 2,241 (fall 2022), its setting is suburban, and the campus size is 225 acres. It utilizes a semester-based academic calendar. Gettysburg College's ranking in the 2024 edition of Best Colleges is National Liberal Arts Colleges, #63. Its tuition and fees are $64,230.

Thirty years before gunshots would ring across campus, the school now known as Gettysburg College was founded in Pennsylvania. The school is adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park, site of a pivotal Civil War matchup between the Union and Confederate armies and where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous Gettysburg Address. Today, the town of Gettysburg is a popular tourist landmark, so students at Gettysburg College have plenty of dining, shopping and entertainment options to check out. On campus, there are about 120 student clubs and organizations, and Gettysburg has nearly 20 fraternities and sororities, which more than 40 percent of students join. Freshmen must live on campus, and will be assigned a room near others in the same First-Year Seminar or writing course. Ninety percent of all students opt to live on campus, and sophomores, juniors and seniors are assigned housing through a lottery system. Living on campus puts students in close proximity to The Attic, the school’s night club.

Athletes play on the Gettysburg Bullets in the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference. For a different kind of workout, students can go on hiking, kayaking and climbing trips run through Gettysburg Recreational Activity Board. GRAB, as it is known for short, also coordinates student- and faculty-led expedition trips around the world, including sea kayaking in Alaska and hiking the Austrian Alps. GRAB trips are open to Gettysburg students, alumni, parents of students and faculty members. For closer trips from campus, students can get to Baltimore in an hour, Washington in an hour and a half and Philadelphia in two hours.

Undergraduate students can get a feel for career life through the school’s career immersion trips. Students take three- to five-day trips to Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and New York to attend company presentations, meet with prominent alumni and work together on case studies. Students can also complete weeklong externships as early as freshman year. Externship opportunities are found across the country, and the Gettysburg Center for Career Development pays for any transportation costs. Students interested in history don’t have far to go for an internship, though, with opportunities at nearby landmarks like the Gettysburg National Military Park and Antietam National Battlefield. Notable alumni of Gettysburg College include Ron Paul, a former politician and frequent presidential candidate; Joe Carbone, a coach for the Los Angeles Lakers; and Carson Kressley, star of the former television hit "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

Softball coach Stackhouse wins 100, breaks record

Published 04.21.2024

Although she has only been with the Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s softball program for less than four full seasons, coach Angela Stackhouse has become the quickest to reach 100 wins in any sport dating back to the mid-1960s.

On Monday, Stackhouse reached the century mark in her 135th game. Current baseball coach Chris Howard also reached 100 wins in his fourth season, but it was in his 143rd game. Going into this season, his 18th, Howard’s teams had won 342 games.

Other Wildcat coaches who had 100-plus wins during their careers include: Mike Stanzione, baseball, 13 seasons from 1992-2004 — 261. Bambi Hawkins, women’s volleyball, 16 seasons from 2000-12 and 2017-19 — 189. Roger Harris, women’s softball, 14 seasons from 2004-15 — 177. Gene Bruno, men’s basketball, 15 seasons from 1996-2011 — 153. Andy Richardson, men’s soccer, 11 seasons from 1994-2004 — 105. Enrique Castillo, men’s soccer, seven seasons from 2006-12 — 102.

Also, this past week the tennis and esports teams’ regular seasons ended, and this coming week, baseball, softball, lacrosse and golf will also end, with the latter three already assured of postseason action. SOFTBALL Mackenzie Weaver of Montoursville hurled her second one-hitter of the season in a nonconference game at Elmira College on Monday. She struck out six and didn’t issue a walk in the Wildcats’ 13-0 first-game win and she sparked the offense with four runs batted in.

In the second-game 10-0 win against Elmira, Faith Anderson of Lykens twirled a five-hit shutout and the Wildcats got two-run home runs from Hailey DeBrody of Cogan Station and Sofia LaSpina of Bellmore, New York, to hand Stackhouse her 100th-career victory and even the team’s lifetime record against Elmira at 4-4.

Hosting Penn State Abington on Thursday, Penn College swept by scores of 2-1 in eight innings and 9-0 in five innings, and by doing so secured a spot in the United East Volt Division playoffs that begin May 1.

In the opener, Grace Lorson of Jersey Shore doubled in a game-tying run in the sixth inning and Margaret Mangene of Boalsburg plated the game-winner in the bottom of the eighth as Weaver picked up her 10th win of the season in the circle and ended with a four-hitter, striking out 15 and walking one.

In the nightcap, freshman Fayth Anderson of Lykens spun her first collegiate career one-hitter, fanning eight and walking one, while Weaver, Ivvy Morder of Mechanicsburg and Jesse Brumbaugh of McClure each drove in two runs.

Entertaining Penn State Berks on Saturday, the teams split for the second time this season as Berks took the first game 4-1 and Penn College won the second 5-4.

After Weaver pitched five shutout innings in the opener, four of six Penn College errors led to four unearned runs in the sixth frame and ruined Weaver’s eight strikeouts and no walk effort.

The Wildcats erupted for 10 hits and took advantage of five Berks errors in the second game for their win. Offensive leaders were Mangene, with two RBIs, Lorson, who homered, and Brumbaugh’s walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the seventh inning.

After an opening round and best-of-the-day 3-under 69 Saturday on the par 72, 6,794-yard Founders Course, Mussina followed that up on Sunday with an even-par 72 and 141 total — second only to McDaniel’s Charlie Dolan, who medaled with rounds 70-70—140.

Hillary Clinton and Malala Yousafzai producing. An election coming. ‘Suffs’ has timing on its side

After a successful run at the Public Theater, “Suffs” makes the move to Broadway. At a recent preview of the show, cast members Nikki M. James and Jenn Colella talked about Shaina Taub’s buzzy musical, and the show’s high-profile producers. (April 17)

Hillary Clinton says the opening of “Suffs” on Broadway “could not be better timed.” The former Secretary of State is a producer of the new musical about the women’s suffrage movement. (April 18)

NEW YORK (AP) — Shaina Taub was in the audience at “Suffs,” her buzzy and timely new musical about women’s suffrage, when she spied something that delighted her.

It was intermission, and Taub, both creator and star, had been watching her understudy perform at a matinee preview last week. Suddenly, she saw audience members searching the Wikipedia pages of key figures portrayed in the show: women like Ida B. Wells, Inez Milholland and Alice Paul, who not only spearheaded the suffrage fight but also wrote the Equal Rights Amendment ( still not law, but that’s a whole other story).

“I was like, that’s my goal, exactly that!” Taub, who plays Paul, said from her dressing room later. “Do everything I can to make you fall in love with these women, root for them, care about them. So that was a really satisfying moment to witness.”

Satisfying but sobering, too. Fact is, few audience members know much about the American suffrage movement. So the all-female creative team behind “Suffs,” which had a high-profile off-Broadway run and opens Thursday on Broadway with extensive revisions, knows they’re starting from zero.

It’s an opportunity, says Taub, who studied social movements — but not suffrage — at New York University. But it’s also a huge challenge: How do you educate but also entertain?

One member of the “Suffs” team has an especially poignant connection to the material. That would be producer Hillary Clinton.

She was, of course, the first woman to win the U.S. presidential nomination of a major party, and the first to win the popular vote. But Clinton says she never studied the suffrage movement in school, even at Wellesley. Only later in life did she fill in the gap, including a visit as first lady to Seneca Falls, home to the first American women’s rights convention some 70 years before the 19th Amendment gave women the vote.

“I became very interested in women’s history through my own work, and writing and reading,” Clinton told The Associated Press. And so, seeing “Suffs” off-Broadway, “I was thrilled because it just helps to fill a big gap in our awareness of the long, many-decades struggle for suffrage.”

It was Taub who wrote Clinton, asking her to come on board. “I thought about it for a nanosecond,” Clinton says, “and decided absolutely, I wanted to help lift up this production.” A known theater lover, Clinton describes traveling often to New York as a college student and angling for discounts, often seeing only the second act, when she could get in for free. “For years, I’d only seen the second act of ‘Hair,’” she quips.

Clinton then reached out to Malala Yousafzai, whom Taub had also written about becoming a producer. As secretary of state, Clinton had gotten to know the Pakistani education activist who was shot by a Taliban gunman at age 15. Clinton wanted Yousafzai to know she was involved and hoped the Nobel Peace Prize winner would be, too.

“I’m thrilled,” Clinton says of Yousafzai’s involvement, “because yes, this is an American story, but the pushback against women’s rights going on at this moment in history is global.”

Yousafzai had also seen the show, directed by Leigh Silverman, and loved it. She, too, has been a longtime fan of musicals, though she notes her acting career both began and ended with a school skit in Pakistan, playing a not-very-nice male boss. Her own education about suffrage was limited to “one or two pages in a history book that talked about the suffrage movement in the U.K.,” where she’d moved for medical treatment.

“I still had no idea about the U.S. side of the story,” Yousafzai told the AP. It was a struggle among conflicting personalities, and a clash over priorities between older and younger activists but also between white suffragists and those of color — something the show addresses with the searing “Wait My Turn,” sung by Nikki M. James as Wells, the Black activist and journalist.

This photo provided by Rubenstein shows Malala Yousafzai pointing to a sign for her off-Broadway musical “Suffs” in New York. (Jenny Anderson via AP)

“This musical has really helped me see activism from a different lens,” says Yousafzai. “I was able to take a deep breath and realize that yes, we’re all humans and it requires resilience and determination, conversation, open-mindedness … and along the way you need to show you’re listening to the right perspectives and including everyone in your activism.”

When asked for feedback by the “Suffs” team, Yousafzai says she replied that she loved the show just as it was. (She paid a visit to the cast last month, and toured backstage.) Clinton, who has attended rehearsals, quips: “I sent notes, because I was told that’s what producers do.”

Clinton adds: “I love the changes. It takes a lot of work to get the storytelling right — to decide what should be sung versus spoken, how to make sure it’s not just telling a piece of history, but is entertaining.”

Indeed, the off-Broadway version was criticized by some as feeling too much like a history lesson. The new version feels faster and lighter, with a greater emphasis on humor — even in a show that details hunger strikes and forced feedings.

One moment where the humor shines through: a new song titled “Great American Bitch” that begins with a suffragist noting a man had called her, well, a bitch. The song reclaims the word with joy and laughter. Taub says this moment — and another where an effigy of President Woodrow Wilson (played by Grace McLean, in a cast that’s all female or nonbinary) is burned — has been a hit with audiences.

“As much as the show has changed,” she says, “the spine of it is the same. A lot of what I got rid of was just like clearing brush.”

Most of the original cast has returned. Jenn Colella plays Carrie Chapman Catt, an old-guard suffragist who clashed with the younger Paul over tactics and timing. James returns as Wells, while Milholland, played by Phillipa Soo off-Broadway, is now played by Hannah Cruz.

Given its parallels to a certain Lin-Manuel Miranda blockbuster about the Founding Fathers, it’s perhaps not a surprise that the show has been dubbed “Hermilton” by some.

“I have to say,” Clinton says of Taub, “I think she’s doing for this part of American history what Lin did for our founders — making it alive, approachable, understandable. I’m hoping ‘Suffs’ has the same impact ‘Hamilton’ had.”

That may seem a tall order, but producers have been buoyed by audience reaction. “They’re laughing even more than we thought they would at the parts we think are funny, and cheering at other parts,” Clinton says. A particular cheer comes at the end, when Paul proposes the ERA. “A cast member said, ‘Who’d have ever thought the Equal Rights Amendment would get cheers in a Broadway theater?’” Clinton recalls.

One clear advantage the show surely has: timeliness. During the off-Broadway run, news emerged the Supreme Court was preparing to overturn Roe vs. Wade, fueling a palpable sense of urgency in the audience. The Broadway run begins as abortion rights are again in the news — and a key issue in the presidential election only months away.

Taub takes the long view. She’s been working on the show for a decade, and says something’s always happening to make it timely.

“I think,” she muses, “it just shows the time is always right to learn about women’s history.”
