183RD Annual
Commencement MARIETTA COLLEGE SUNDAY THE THIRD OF MAY TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
Welcome to Marietta College’s one hundred eighty-third 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 individuals receiving degrees today will join more than 25,000 living Marietta College alumni as members of The Long Blue Line.
