Transformative Leaders Fellowship positions Gettysburg College as global leader in peace and justice

Following a week of intensive reflection, discussion, and collaborative ideation, Gettysburg College's inaugural Peace and Justice Transformative Leadership Fellows return to their spheres of the world-from Arizona to New York, Canada to the capital of the United States, and beyond-as leaders of peace, justice, and change.

Leveraging the foundational leadership skills they learned here, each fellow will now embark on a yearlong social change project that they envisioned while in Gettysburg.

"It's very much critical praxis, which is the synergy between theory and action," said Fellowship Co-Director Daniel Jones '22, who is also president of the Peace and Justice Student Council on campus. "Through the various sessions we held during the Transformative Leaders Fellowship, we didn't just give the students the tools to be leaders and changemakers. It was also a priority of ours to teach them how to use those tools, then giving them the space they need to figure out how to best employ and further develop them in their own home communities."
