Invest in Marietta Students — Invest in the Future of Energy
A $200,000 matching gift from Trustee Clyde Wootton ’72 and Cheryl Wagner Wootton ’72 is igniting new opportunities for the Center for Earth, Energy and the Environment (CEEE), a new interdisciplinary hub building on Marietta’s strengths in petroleum engineering and geology, bridging science, policy, and industry to confront global energy and environmental challenges while preparing students for leadership in the evolving energy sector.
Their leadership investment is a call to action. As we launch the Center for Earth, Energy and the Environment, now is the moment to expand hands-on learning, strengthen industry partnerships, and equip students with the skills needed to lead across evolving energy and environmental sectors.
Together, we are fueling student success and building on the legacy that defines Marietta.
Your support helps us launch energy leaders and ensures that every student has the resources they need to succeed. It provides the flexibility to meet their needs, enhance their learning, and support faculty who inspire and guide them.
