Fearless Friday: Class of 2019
Get PDFWe recognize all of the Gettysburg College graduates who will use what they learned and experienced over the past four years to fearlessly promote change, seek justice, and challenge inequality after leaving Gettysburg College. The following list contains the names of members of the Class of 2019 who have been recognized by other members of the campus community as leaders for change, and we are proud to claim these fearless and inspirational students as our own. We know, however, that we do not have everyone who deserves to be recognized listed below, so feel free to continue nominating your friends, peers, co-workers, students — any member of the Class of 2019 that you believe will go on to create positive change post-graduation. Nominations can be received either through comments at the bottom of this post or emailed to [email protected]. [excerpt
Constructing The Past
No full textConstructing the Past is a project that focuses on the Gettysburg College buildings Brua Hall, 227 Carlisle Street, and 250 Carlisle Street to show how buildings can reflect changes in a community.

Build Your Resume and Leave an Impact: Publish in The Cupola
Get PDFThe Cupola actively serves as a resistance to the academic publishing system that makes knowledge exclusive to the wealthy and privileged who have the ability to access it. Instead of keeping scholarship “behind the paywall” with high subscription costs, The Cupola and the other open repositories keep the knowledge freely accessible to everyone at any time, anywhere in the world. The Cupola has only existed since April 2012, but we have already reached 1 million downloads (...) To find out more about how The Cupola is perceived on the campus and how to make more students interested in student nominations, I talked to professors, current students and alumni from Gettysburg College. We discussed the issues of representation in writing and publishing and the role of The Cupola in comparison. Thus, this article is a collection of various accounts on the importance of student scholarship and a collection of advice on how to use The Cupola to your benefit. [excerpt

Female Ethics and Epic Rivalry: Helen in the Iliad and Penelope in the Odyssey
No full textThis paper shows how Penelope and the Iliadic Helen are constructed as similar, yet ethically antitypical heroines through an intertextual dialogue that manifests itself on structural, thematic, and linguistic levels. Whereas Helen is an unfaithful, sight-endowed female agent who weaves war and indiscriminate suffering, Penelope is a faithful, thoughtful wife who more passively preserves Odysseus\u27 family and authority; each woman is key to her epic plot and ideology. I argue that their intertextuality contributes to the rivalry between the Odyssey and Iliad traditions and can be understood as a female counterpart to the competing heroisms of Odysseus and Achilles
Speaking Out
Get PDFWhy can we not take action now? I asked myself this question when, as a program coordinator for the Women’s Center I decided to take part in the Vagina Monologues because I wanted to change them- monologues that are centered on the experiences of white, upper-class cis-gender women. [excerpt
