Partners in Progress


At Marietta, education and community are inseparable.

Our campus is a source of energy and ideas for the region. Our community provides the partnerships and purpose that make learning real.

We are building on that connection through collaborations that bring students, faculty, industry, and community leaders together in hands-on problem-solving and shared progress.

 

Your partnership advances innovation, enriches our community, and solidifies Marietta’s place as a trusted regional asset.
Progress for Our Region—and Our Planet

Learning that extends beyond the classroom and expands what's possible. 

The Center for Earth, Energy and the Environment builds upon Marietta’s historic strengths while advancing work in energy systems, sustainability, and environmental stewardship.

Through research, community outreach, and hands-on academic experiences, students and faculty are developing ideas with the power to shape a more responsible and sustainable future.

Innovation Rooted in Appalachia

The Center for Appalachian Innovation brings together research, entrepreneurship, policy, and collaboration to address challenges and pursue opportunities across our region.

By connecting Marietta’s expertise with the insight of local leaders and partners, the Center will help cultivate solutions rooted in the strengths, needs, and possibilities of Appalachia.

A Hub for Our Community

 

Arts and Culture


The arts invite us to see differently, express boldly, and connect across experiences.

Investments in the performing and visual arts will strengthen opportunities for students while sustaining Marietta’s role as a creative and cultural resource for the broader community.
