Day of Recruiting
How alumni can help build the next class of Pioneers.
What is Day of Recruiting?
Each semester, alumni across the country and around the world will come together for Day of Recruiting — a 24-hour celebration of Pioneer Pride and community connection. This initiative gives alumni a platform to share their Marietta College experiences, helping future Pioneers explore the value of choosing Marietta.
- Fall Day of Recruiting: Tuesday, November 4, 2025
- Spring Day of Recruiting: Wednesday, February 18 2026
Share your story with pride.
This TOOLKIT is designed to help alumni celebrate their Marietta College experience and inspire prospective students. Inside, you’ll find guidelines, sample posts, and graphics to share on your social channels. Use these tools to tell your story, connect with future Pioneers, and showcase how Marietta was made for you.
How to Participate
- Show your Pioneer Pride!
From your favorite Marietta sweatshirt to keepsakes that reflect your journey, let the items you cherish create visible connections to the College — each piece telling part of your story, sparking curiosity, and inviting others to explore Marietta.
- Share YOUR STORY on social media.
Post on social media 2-4 times throughout the day, using the Social Media Toolkit as your guide. Tag Marietta College accounts and include the Day of Recruiting link to reach future Pioneers.
- Engage locally — wherever you are!
Connect with prospective students, their parents/relatives, friends, and community members to share your Marietta experience. Highlight how Marietta College was made for you and how it can be made for them.
- Encourage fellow alumni to share their story.
The Long Blue Line impacts communities across the country and around the globe, so Day of Recruiting is a perfect time to showcase how extensive of a reach this Pioneer College has had. From classrooms to boardrooms, our graduates have their own special stories about how Marietta College has helped support their professional and personal trajectories in life. Please encourage your former classmates to take some time during Day of Recruiting to share their inspirational stories.
- Share your fellow Pioneers' stories.
If you see a compelling MC story, like and share it on your personal pages. This is a great way to add content to your page and get other stories in front of your social media circles.
