Gettysburg Staff Ride
On October 17 and 18, the Program in American Grand Strategy will hold our annual staff ride to Gettysburg.
A staff ride is a hands-on educational experience where participants walk the terrain of a battle or campaign. Participants will visit the battlefield and deliver a presentation from the perspective of an individual involved in the Battle of Gettysburg.
Students are encouraged to apply regardless of program of study, year, or prior involvement with AGS. We are looking for students interested in and willing to participate in an exciting learning exercise on the Civil War, focusing on the Battle of Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. No specific expertise is required.
AGS will cover all travel and lodging costs for participants, along with meals. Students will be responsible for any recreational expenses outside of the staff ride’s program.
To be considered, please complete and submit the application form no later than Friday, September 12 at 5:00pm.
Questions should be directed to Carolina Kaemingk at carolina.kaemingk@duke.edu.
