Imagine being encouraged to bring your wildest ideas to life. At Marietta College, students are prepared and inspired to pursue their passions through hands-on research and creative projects that let their innovation shine.Just ask Evan Saribalas ’24 (New Albany, Ohio), an Applied Physics major who recently built an impressive hydraulic flume system to test the efficiency of rowing oars.

The 13th annual All Scholars Day, a one-day celebration of undergraduate research, is scheduled to start at 8:00 a.m., Thursday, April 20th. Presentations, exhibitions, and discussions will be held across campus the entire day. Starting in 2011, All Scholars Day has become a signature moment at Marietta College.
