Welcome to the eleventh edition of our “Great Work from Home” daily bulletin, an initiative of The Gettysburgian during this season of social distancing. Each morning, we will present a curated playlist, a favorite Gettysburg campus photo, and hometown spotlight, each submitted by a different Gettysburgian.
We are also issuing a new challenge this week: make your best attempt at baking servo cookies from home, and share your results and your recipe here. Maybe one of you knows what the secret is!
In addition, you can look forward to a reading of Apotheosis, a play written by Madison Cramer ‘19 and directed by Katherine Scott ‘21, starring Hannah Kolarik ’20, Isaac Briggs ’20, and Gauri Mangala ’21, live on our Facebook page this Saturday, April 11 at 7 pm EST.
This is a way to start our days together. We’ll present these features on Instagram, on our website, and, if you like, via email (see sign-up below). We’ll be reaching out to students, faculty members, and employees and asking them to share, and we invite you to do so too; find links to Google Forms for each of these recurring features at the bottom of the page.
As always, the most important part of this initiative is you. So tell us, what do you like? What don’t you like? What else would you like to see? Get in touch with the #GWFH team: editors@gettysburgian.com.
Also, please tell us how remote learning and working is affecting your day-to-day life. We would love to hear from new voices—students, staff, faculty, administrators, and friends of the college are welcome to fill out our form, and we’ll be in touch.
For now, we hope you enjoy today’s playlist, curated by Will Esposito ’22, today’s campus photo, submitted by Gauri Mangala ’21, and today’s hometown profile, written by Hannah Labovitz ’21, who hails from Pittsburgh, PA.
Remember, you can take us out of Gettysburg, but you can’t take Gettysburg out of us!

“The Gettysburg theatre department has taught me how to be kind, how to be fierce, and how to be brave. Fefu and Her Friends remains the most important show I have ever done. In times like these, I hold these moments and memories close and remember that with this kind of love and friendship, I’m not alone…even at a distance.”

“One of the best parts of living in a hilly city like Pittsburgh are the views that can be hidden all around the city. In my times of self-isolation, I’ve been driving around (staying in my car), looking out for these views and learning to love my city even more with each one I find.”
