Counselor Campus Visit
We are so pleased to offer an in depth visit experience for counselors that includes a tour, lunch and connecting with an admissions staff member! Our Dean of Admissions and VP of Enrollment are both excited to join these visits when possible. The typical offered visit will include lunch but we are happy to accommodate any times. We look forward to hosting you!
Counselor-to-Counselor Chats
Counselor-to-counselor chats are one-on-one conversations with the admissions staff member assigned to your region. These personalized conversations are designed for you to get the information you need—whether that’s the answers to a few quick questions or a more in-depth, hour-long conversation.

Counselor Programs
We are pleased to offer several programs a year for college counselors of all kinds. We currently offer a virtual Fall Counselor Series and will be updating any additional programs throughout the fall. Once we have decided on spring programs, we will add them to this page. As always, keep an eye on your email for any special invitations!
Please contact Tyra Crosbie '17 for more information.
Group Visits
Gettysburg College welcomes student groups—of ten or more persons—most weekdays throughout the year. Groups that visit campus have the opportunity to attend an information session, tour campus with current Gettysburg students, and purchase meals on campus. We ask that counselors schedule group visits a minimum of three weeks in advance. Please note that groups of less than 10 persons (including chaperones) are welcome to join daily scheduled information sessions and campus tours.
