- provide students with an opportunity to pursue their research and creative interests in a manner not found in a typical class setting,
- promote intellectual curiosity and stimulate creativity in students in an academic discipline or between disciplines, and
- foster a sense of learning, sharing, and commitment with a community of scholars.

All Scholars Day
All Scholars Day is a campus-wide celebration of scholarship at Marietta College. All students, faculty, and staff are expected to participate in ASD — it is such an important day that no class meetings are held on ASD! ASD allows students to share their research, creative projects, and senior capstone projects with the Marietta College Community. Students give talks, poster presentations, demonstrations, and performances for audiences across disciplines, demonstrating the importance of the liberal arts at Marietta College.
