Message From the Dean

Welcome to our website. It introduces you to one of the most dynamic leadership centers in American higher education today. Our many programs, events and initiatives are designed to help students gain a deeper understanding of leadership, practice their leadership skills, and in the process grow as a leader; hence, our key themes - knowledge, action, and growth.

The Center houses the McDonough Leadership Program, open to undergraduate students in all fields of study through a competitive application process. Students who are selected to participate in this program are designated McDonough Scholars at Marietta College. McDonough Scholars can pursue a certificate, minor or major in leadership studies. Drawing from our focus on a liberal-arts education, the program offers many fascinating seminars, community service projects, and leadership skill-building opportunities.

Aside from the academic programs for undergraduate students, the Center has two offices that advance its educational mission - the Office of Civic Engagement (OCE) and the Office of Business Leadership Development (OBLD). OCE coordinates the Center's service projects and volunteer activities for all students at Marietta College. OBLD focuses on executive education in the for-profit sector, including the Executive-in-Residence Program and the summer International Business Leadership Module for foreign MBA students.

The Center also supports student and faculty research activities. Our McDonough Scholars make regular presentations at national and international conferences. The leadership faculty engage in meaningful research that adds to the body of knowledge about leadership.

We are delighted that you are visiting our website. Whatever the reasons that have drawn you to it, we hope that this virtual visit will address your needs. Please let us know how we can be of further assistance. We hope to hear from you!
