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. Testing his capstone project, he flipped a switch, then watched with pride as 50 gallons of water rushed through the 2-meter flume he designed and constructed.
