Marietta College's 180th Commencement Program

180TH Annual Commencement MARIETTA COLLEGE SUNDAY THE SEVENTH OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN

Welcome to Marietta College’s one hundred eightieth Annual Commencement

W

ith roots that reach back to the 18th century Muskingum Academy, Marietta College was officially chartered on February 14, 1835, by the State of Ohio as an institution charged with educating youth in all the various branches of the liberal arts and sciences. From the beginning, Marietta has been an independent, nonsectarian, liberal arts college.

Today’s graduates share a common foundation of courses in written and spoken communication, and have been required to acquire a coherent experience in several fields of study. Moreover, each has pursued an in-depth study of a discipline in one or more of the nearly 50 undergraduate or graduate programs.

Marietta College grants degrees to these individuals, confident they have been readied to exercise their callings with competence and to fulfill their civic and social responsibilities with understanding.

The men and women receiving degrees today will join more than 25,000 living Marietta College alumni as members of The Long Blue Line.

Commencement Speaker ROBERT R. DYSON ’68

R

obert “Rob” R. Dyson has a wide range of business interests and responsibilities. He is Chairman and CEO of the Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation, a privately owned, diversified investment holding company that was founded by his father, Charles H. Dyson, in 1954. Rob also owns and manages a diverse array of private investments, and earlier in his career was the founder and owner of a regional radio broadcasting group of Hudson Valley radio stations.

Rob was educated at Marietta College (B.A. in Economics) and the Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University (M.B.A.). Rob and his wife Emilie live in Millbrook, New York, and raised their two children, Christopher and Molly, in Pleasant Valley, New York.

Civic and community leadership is an important role for Rob. He currently serves on the board of Health Quest Systems, the largest integrated health system in the Mid-Hudson Valley. He recently stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Marist College and still serves as a trustee. He is on the board of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation and is a life member of the Board of Trustees of Cornell University. He has previously served on the boards of many other voluntary organizations on the national and regional levels.

Rob carries on a Dyson family tradition both in his personal philanthropy and through the work of the Dyson Foundation. The Foundation, which Rob has led as Chairman since 2000, made grants of $14.5 million in 2016 and nearly $349 million since its founding in 1957.

The Dyson Foundation supports a diverse array of organizations, from colleges and hospitals to human service and safety net programs. One of the Foundation’s hallmark projects has been the Walkway Over the Hudson. The Walkway is a 1.28 mile formerly abandoned railroad bridge that was rebuilt into the longest elevated pedestrian trail in the world, and has attracted 2.5 million visitors since its opening in 2009. The Dyson Foundation also created Upper Landing Park in the City of Poughkeepsie, New York, to help stabilize and revitalize the Poughkeepsie waterfront. Outside of the Hudson Valley, the Foundation supports organizations of significance to Dyson family members.

Yet another passion of Rob’s is Dyson Racing, one of the top-rated sports car racing teams in the country.

Dyson Racing has won almost all of the major professional Sports Car sanctioned races in the country and he personally has twice garnered overall wins in the prestigious Daytona 24-Hour competition.

As a courtesy to the graduates and those in attendance today, please turn your cell phones to vibrate.

We also ask that all family photographers remain in their seats when taking photos or go to the assigned area off to the left of the stage.

Music for the Occasion

Ryan Murphy (lyrics from a traditional American song) Marietta College Concert Choir Director: Dr. Jason M. Dougherty, Assistant Professor of Music

My brethren, I have found a land that doth abound with fruit as sweet as honey; The more I eat, I find, the more I am inclined to shout and sing hosanna.

My soul doth long to go where I may fully know the glory of my Savior; And as I pass along I’ll sing the Christian song, I’m going to live forever.

Perhaps you think me wild, or simple as a child; I am a child of glory; I am born from above, my soul is filled with love; I love to tell the story.

My soul doth long to go where I may fully know the glory of my Savior; And as I pass along I’ll sing the Christian song, I’m going to live forever.

2

My soul now sits and sings and practices its wings, and contemplates the hour When the messenger shall say, “Come quite this house of clay, and with bright angels tower.”

My soul doth long to go where I may fully know the glory of my Savior; And as I pass along I’ll sing the Christian song, I’m going to live forever.
