At Gettysburg, ordinary people were asked to do extraordinary things.
Character, communication, team building, humility, flexibility, resilience, strategic or visionary thinking, problem-solving under pressure, and accountability are just a few of the many lessons for which experiential learning at Gettysburg is effective.
More information will be made available in early 2024 on this new program being held on the battlefields of Gettysburg.
