T H E C H A N G I N G OF MARIETTA COLLEGE TEARS OVERWHELMED RACHEL CARTER ’09 when she arrived at the Forbidden City in Beijing just a few days after finishing spring semester. “Since I was about 10 years old, I’ve always wanted to go to China,” explains Carter, whose family has been mentoring Chinese students for the last nine years. “I just couldn’t believe I was there.” Carter was part of a 33-student tour of Beijing and Xian that was organized by chorus director Dr. Daniel Monek. The group departed Marietta the day after graduation and continued for a whirlwind 10 days that featured daily performances – usually at host churches – with Chinese choral groups followed by dinners afterward with other choir members. Chinese families hosted luncheons in their homes, squeezed in between sightseeing tours and rehearsals. It was a cultural immersion that was as much about education as it was about music. For College President Jean A. Scott, it’s all about education and preparing students for the opportunities that they’ll encounter after graduation. “We really need to think about what our undergraduates need to know in the world in which they will be working,” says Scott. “It really is a global society…We need to provide the kind of competitive edge that our students need.” B Y S H E R RY B E C K PA P R O C K I M A R I E T TA > 13
