History and leadership walked the same ground this weekend at Gettysburg National Military Park!

Marietta College LEAD and History students and faculty spent two days on the battlefield, tracing decisions from the 1863 Civil War battle and talking through what they mean for leaders today.

Huge thanks to the generous donors who funded the trip because they believe history still teaches us how to lead. Grateful to travel and learn with Professors Brandon Downing and Jason Nulton and a great crew of students.
