Landmark Experience Day
Landmark Experience Day is an entire day in fall semester when the campus celebrates how students lead, explore, create and connect in ways that define their college experience—and shape futures. It also provides a chance for students to learn about even more opportunities!
The day allows attendees to:
- See the breadth of experiential education available to students—across research, internships, practicums, study abroad, clubs, fieldwork, and more.
- Build partnerships and connections
- Celebrate student work: 150+ posters/digital presentations
All Scholars Day
All Scholars Day began in 2011 and has become a signature moment at Marietta College as a one-day celebration of undergraduate research. No classes are conducted on this day in April as hundreds of Marietta students show research, display art or make a dramatic presentation. The goals of the campus-wide research day are to:
- Enhance the culture of academics at Marietta College
- Celebrate undergraduates and the unique academic experiences that they enjoy at Marietta College, including undergraduate research, creative works, internship, and study abroad experiences
- Provide a venue for students to gain experience presenting research and original work, and to discuss their work with their peers and faculty.
