The First-Year Walk is a time-honored tradition at Gettysburg College, when students retrace the steps students, faculty, and townspeople took in 1863 to hear President Abraham Lincoln deliver the Gettysburg Address at the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

On August 25, the Class of 2026 will partake in this tradition, meeting at Christ Chapel at 6:30 p.m. before walking together through town at 7 p.m. They will hear remarks from Anne Ehrlich, vice president of College Life and dean of students, and President Bob Iuliano.
Come show your support for the Class of 2026!
