Inauguration

With ideal weather and a record number of people registered for events (627), Marietta College’s 2016 Homecoming weekend was a huge success.

Over the past 100 days, Dr. William N. Ruud has inspired the current student body, faculty, staff, alumni, leadership team and the surrounding community with his affirmative approach to improving the state of the College, as well as implementing his vision of Marietta’s future.

Dr. William N. Ruud, who joined Marietta College on July 3, will be inaugurated as the 19th president starting at 10 a.m., Friday, Oct. 14 — which is also the first day of Homecoming 2016 on campus.

The ceremony will take place in the Dyson Baudo Recreation Center.
