Gender and Sexuality Off-Campus Resources: 

  • What is Gettysburg College’s score on the national Campus Pride Index?

     
    • Visit the Campus Pride Index website for the more information.
    • Our current score is a 4.5 out of 5 on the national Campus Pride Index score report. This report is updated annually. We will continue to work toward improving our score by gathering feedback about these resources and implementing necessary changes based on the needs of the campus community. Even a 5 out of 5 score does not mean that we have no work left to do, so we will always be working toward advocating for additional gender and sexuality related resources and support. However, the Campus Pride Index is a great tool to become more informed about the resources we currently offer.  

  • Does the college offer gender-affirming, long-term medical care?

     
    • No, our on-campus Health Center by WellSpan does not provide long-term prescriptions of any kind or general primary care. Students will need to find local providers in the Central PA area.
