About the Theme
The Homecoming 2024 theme, "Reaching New Heights" was inspired by the cover of the Marietta College Alumnus magazine, published in May 1974. The description for the cover notes:
The College's Erwin Tower has been the target of rambunctious undergraduates for many years, but chances are that it has never been climbed quite in the manner depicted here. The Marietta Mountaineers, MC's mountain climbing club, exhibited their prowess by topping Erwin's venerable bricks. It was just one of a wide variety of entertainments on a balmy student-sponsored Saturday of spring fun, April 20th, called Doo Dah Day.
Marietta College students reached new heights in 1974 as they scaled the bricks of Erwin Tower and established new traditions for future generations of Pioneers. Doo Dah Day, depicted in the cover photo, celebrated its 50th anniversary on April 19th this year.
Adventurous, bold, and inspiring, we celebrate these alumni Pioneers of The Long Blue Line this Homecoming. And we can't wait to see the new heights that today's Pioneer students will reach!
Thank you for celebrating Homecoming with us!
Students, alumni and friends take every opportunity to celebrate life at Marietta College and the importance of fostering the friendships that are made during their undergraduate years.
Future dates are tentatively scheduled for:
- 2025: October 16-19
- 2026: October 15-18
And don’t forget, we are always looking for volunteers to help with planning. Are you a Pio with a passion for service? Interested in becoming a reunion volunteer or hosting an event? Check out our Alumni Volunteer Opportunities page for more information on how you can get involved!
