2018 Marietta College Commencement Program

181ST Annual

Commencement MARIETTA COLLEGE SUNDAY THE SIXTH OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN

Welcome to Marietta College’s one hundred eighty-first Annual Commencement

W

ith roots that reach back to the 18th century Muskingum Academy, Marietta College was officially chartered on February 14, 1835, by the State of Ohio as an institution charged with educating youth in all the various branches of the liberal arts and sciences. From the beginning, Marietta has been an independent, nonsectarian, liberal arts college.

Today’s graduates share a common foundation of courses in written and spoken communication, and have been required to acquire a coherent experience in several fields of study. Moreover, each has pursued an in-depth study of a discipline in one or more of the nearly 50 undergraduate or graduate programs.

Marietta College grants degrees to these individuals, confident they have been readied to exercise their callings with competence and to fulfill their civic and social responsibilities with understanding.

The men and women receiving degrees today will join more than 25,000 living Marietta College alumni as members of The Long Blue Line.

Commencement Speaker DONALD G. RITTER ’81

D

on Ritter ’81 is the founder and Chief Executive Officer for Endurance Resources III in Addison, Texas. An Emeritus Trustee at Marietta College, he spent the past decade leading Endurance Resources I and II — and its predecessor, TriTex Energy — as President and CEO. Don spent the first 19 years of his career at Mobil, where he served in a variety of engineering and management roles in the United States and internationally while developing expertise in drilling engineering, completion design, and project planning.

Before co-founding TriTex Energy, Don led the engineering, business development, and sales efforts at GeoMechanics International, a technology firm focused on helping companies maximize success with horizontal resource opportunities.

While Don has a long and distinguished career in oil and gas, he is also a director with Blue Star Connection — a charity that provides musical instruments for medically challenged children and young adults.

Approximately 500 individuals and 54 hospitals have received support from Blue Star over the last 10 years.

Don and his wife, Leslie Straub Ritter ’85, who serves on Marietta College’s Board of Trustees, also founded Category 5 Amplification, a custom guitar amplifier company. They started the company in January 2006 and the company’s endorsing artists include musicians Brad Paisley, Joe Bonamassa, The Kenny Chesney Band, Warren Haynes, and many more. Category 5 was specifically formed to support charities and to provide musicians an avenue for giving back.

The Ritters made an initial $1 million donation to Marietta College in December 2016 to start a Music Therapy program. The new major and curriculum were approved by the faculty in January 2018 and will begin this fall. The Ritters’ commitment to their alma mater can also be seen through the renovations in The Gathering Place and in the McKinney Building, where there are state-of-the-art recording studios and facilities to support the new major as well as any student who is interested in recording their music.

Don and Leslie will each receive an honorary Doctor in Humane Letters during today’s Commencement ceremony.

As a courtesy to the graduates and those in attendance today, please turn your cell phones to vibrate.

We also ask that all family photographers remain in their seats when taking photos or go to the assigned area off to the left of the stage.

Sarah Quartel

Marietta College Concert Choir Director: Dr. Jason M. Dougherty, Assistant Professor of Music There’s part of my story, there’s part of my song, There’s part of my journey that’s yet to be found.

With life all around us and so much to see, Adventure is calling, It’s calling to me.

Out in the wide open spaces around me.

With big sky above me, I’m on my way, Scanning the horizon of a brand new day.

Feet to the earth now, there’s no turning back.

Into the world now, look at me, look at me go!

Out in the wide open spaces around me.

But as I journey out I look within and see The spaces inside of me yet to be filled, Filled with what I have seen and what I will be.

I’m filling the wide open spaces inside of me With something I love, something I would like to be!

Filling the wide open spaces inside of me.
