MARITIME COLLEGE SESQUICENTENNIAL CAMPAIGN:
CELEBRATING OUR PAST | INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE
OUR MISSION: TO EDUCATE DYNAMIC LEADERS FOR THE GLOBAL MARITIME INDUSTRY
CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVE: STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS IN PEOPLE AND PROGRAMS
In the last decade, Maritime College has received almost a half-billion dollars of federal and state funding for high-impact capital projects including the new ship, a new academic building, renovated classroom and lab facilities, new simulators, first-class athletic fields, and student-centered programming space – all of which have enhanced the appeal and function of the campus.
In order to uphold a caliber of student and faculty programming that aligns with these campus investments, the College looks to its community of alumni, industry professionals, families, faculty, staff, and friends to make philanthropic investments in Maritime College’s people and programs. Such investments will allow Maritime College to continue to deliver top talent to the industries it serves, promote innovation across our areas of expertise, and increase the visibility and value of a Maritime College degree.
“Supporting the Sesquicentennial campaign is my way of saying ‘thank you’ to an institution that afforded me so much in life: a fulfilling career, an unsurpassed alumni network, and a connection to classmates and shipmates who I consider family. Knowing that my campaign contribution may open the door to the same level of personal and professional success for the next generation of Fort Schuyler grads, and push the College to new heights, is extremely rewarding.”
- Stephen J. Carbery ’80, President, Maritime College Alumni Association and Committee Member, Maritime College Sesquicentennial Campaign Committee
“I am proud to contribute to the College’s Sesquicentennial Campaign in support of the School of Engineering’s Dean’s Fund. My contribution is helping to attract the next generation of top-tier faculty to Maritime College, ensuring that students have the training and resources needed to address the complex engineering challenges facing the marine industry. This is my personal commitment to education and to the future success of our industry."

"I give back to Maritime because without the leadership training and life experiences the school provided me, I would not be where I am today. I received an excellent education and Summer Sea Terms cemented my love of the sea. After graduation, I returned and worked on the 1989 and 1991 cruises and served as the 2nd Officer of the Training Ship. I have received two degrees and met life-long mentors from being a student and former employee of SUNY Maritime."
