President Ruud
THIS IS THE TIME is a historic $100 million campaign to thrust our College forward through a rejuvenated commitment to our students, a continued promise to transform lives for the better, and a desire to make the world a better place.
President’s Message
A TRANSFORMATIVE
College Experience Begins with Our People
For more than 180 years, lives have been impacted for the better because of the connections made at Marietta College.
I was an ambitious, anxious, first-generation college student from Appalachia who had been homeschooled her whole life, so college was a huge transition for me. The faculty here not only made me feel welcome but also made me feel valued. My experience at Marietta College allowed me to see that I could have a meaningful impact on the world around me.
