Welcome to the eighth edition of our “Great Work from Home” daily bulletin, an initiative of The Gettysburgian during this season of social distancing. This week, 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: in honor of Gettysburg sunsets, share with us your best sunset pic, either from Gettysburg or from wherever you are.
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.
For now, we hope you enjoy today’s playlist, curated by R.C. Miessler, today’s campus photo, courtesy of Lauren Sherman ’21, and today’s hometown profile, written by Maggie Halpin ’22, who hails from Poughquag, New York.
Remember, you can take us out of Gettysburg, but you can’t take Gettysburg out of us!

“I love this picture because it makes me feel at home. For the past three years I’ve practically lived in the Science Center basement and I’m definitely feeling homesick!”

“This is the orchard across from my house in Poughquag, New York. So many people come to pick apples here each fall that there’s a 5 mile line that blocks me from driving home. You have to pay a fee to get in, but locals know that there’s a hidden gate that’s only held closed by a pink ribbon tied into a bow.”
