The Garthwait Leadership Center (GLC), through collaborative partnerships across Gettysburg College, creates intellectual and experiential opportunities for students and alumni to develop leadership skills. Through these experiences, students and alumni identify and reflect on their passions, and learn how to apply leadership skills ethically to make a positive impact.

The Garthwait Leadership Center’s name recognizes the alumnus who has endowed the program, Robert Garthwait, Jr. ’82, a trustee of the College and CEO of Cly-Del Manufacturing in Waterbury, Connecticut.
