Recently named Gettysburg College scholars now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue paths that pique their curiosity, actively seek answers to profound questions, and adopt a personal drive to enact change.

22 Gettysburg College students have recently been credited in Prof. Christopher Fee's new encyclopedia titled Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories in American History. Anika Jensen, Susanna Mills, and Isabella Rosedietcher were credited as editors. The new two volume set of encyclopedias features over 800 pages of entries detailing controversial and influential conspiracy theories in contemporary American society and the history of these theories. The encyclopedia explains the cultural context and significance of conspiracy theories, an analysis of conspiracy theories and political affiliation, and the role of the internet in the spread of conspiracy theories. Gettysburg College's liberal arts curriculum empowers students to think critically and seek answers to difficult social and political problems in contemporary society. The rigorous research conducted by these students exemplifies what it means to Do Great Work.

Gettysburg College Mathematics Prof. Beth Campbell Hetrick's First-Year Seminar (FYS) students Matt Granito '22 and Douglas Cummings '22 earned recognition at the Draw the Lines competition- a nonpartisan state-wide contest for people of all ages to draw their own election map of Pennsylvania, end gerrymandering, and improve democracy. Granito and Cummings were awarded honorable mention for accurately dividing Pennsylvania into 18 contiguous, equally populated districts using district builder software and maps. As part of their FYS assignment, they submitted their final map and a statement articulating their goals to the Draw the Lines competition. "My two main goals were contiguity, districts being connected, and compactness, districts with the least perimeter and most area," said Granito. "In class, we heard from a number of guest speakers who explained to us the importance of fair maps, as well as the impact of gerrymandering. Without a doubt, Mathematics of Voting prepared us well for the competition." Gettysburg College encourages students to step out of their comfort zone and explore new ideas through problem solving and critical thinking. Likewise, Hetrick's Mathematics of Voting seminar engages students in hands-on research that bring relevant voting topics to life and helps students analyze hotly contested political actions through a mathematical lens.
