Student Spotlight
Creating Social Change: Ty Abdul-Karim ’18
As a Gettysburg student, Ty Abdul-Karim established “The Fellaship”—a group designed to unite African American males on campus, spur social change, and foster support and understanding.
With more than 120 clubs and organizations, it is easy to get involved — academic, arts & music, cultural, media, political, religious, service, social, sports and outdoors, and more. All are run by students, and create more than 1,000 leadership opportunities.
Leadership and service are integrally related. Students are active participants in their communities—working on projects that make a real impact and gaining leadership experience.
Gettysburg is committed to cultivating a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming campus that prepares students to thrive in and contribute productively to an increasingly interconnected society.
