On Saturday, Oct. 9, a group of students traveled to the historical battlefields of Gettysburg. This in and of itself is not a unique experience; the battlefields see thousands of visitors each year, many of which are school groups. What made this experience unique was the makeup of the students. Over 100 students from seven Penn State campuses signed up for this tour, most of them international students. They were accompanied by students from a Penn State Altoona course titled HIST 161: Gettysburg in History and Memory.
