And more recently, a faculty member was arrested, causing Marietta College to become the center of a very public scandal. But now it's a new semester. Let's focus on those majors that were given a second life, and those faculty members who continue to educate and support us every day. Don't allow the negative actions of some and the difficult decisions made by others to ruin the reputation and spirit of our school. The students and staff at Marietta College have a lot to look forward to in the coming months and years.
Plans are in the works for a new recreation center, and the new dorms are nearly completed.
Several academic programs are being re-worked and being given additional funds. Students in these programs will be able to reap the benefits of new technology, new faculty members, and new and improved. We need to come together as a college community and not allow ourselves to be brought down by mistakes which are preventable and events which are inevitable. It is important to remember that each person involved with this institution has something special, unique, and valuable to contribute to the success of this college as a whole. We need to focus on cultivating those qualities and gifts and bringing them to the light.
