Alexandra Ward Selected as Gettysburg College Civil War Institute Undergraduate Fellow

2012 Dec 17

At Gettysburg College, students interested in developing their knowledge of the Civil War alongside their leadership skills can participate in the Civil War Institute (CWI) Undergraduate Fellows program. This program allows students to expand their academic experiences while developing professional skills. Fellows have the opportunity to meet some of the top scholars in the field while assisting with research initiatives and event planning.

Alexandra Ward of Severna Park, a Junior at Gettysburg College, was selected as a CWI fellow for 2012 - 2013.

Some fellows work in the CWI office, while others research and write historical narratives for the Gettysburg Compiler, a website designed to be a virtual bridge between student research and the public. Fellows also help coordinate lectures and events sponsored by the CWI.

Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition that includes Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate and other distinguished scholars among its alumni. The college enrolls 2,600 undergraduate students and is located on a 200-acre campus adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
