Cultivating Community Partnership


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.
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.

“CEEE builds on Marietta’s long-standing strengths in petroleum engineering to advance emerging practices in sustainability and energy systems. Here, students partner with industry and communities to develop novel solutions to real-world challenges.”
— Dr. Ben J. Stuart, Dean of the Center for Earth, Energy and the Environment
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.
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.
