About Us

Our Mission

The SUNY Maritime Parents Association exists for the Students/Cadets.

Since 1952 the Parents Association has been a part of the college scene at Maritime.

While we are visible doing fund raising at all of the major campus events, the first time prospective Student/Cadet Parents meet us is usually at the "Future Student/Cadet Days" where we present the parents eye view of SUNY Maritime. We are available to answer questions in person and now on the WEB.  Please direct questions to parents@sunymaritime.org

Our organization raises money to support student activities; we provide the school and alumni association donations for scholarships, give emergency student loans, provide amenities not offered by the college and we operate this secure on-line store where you can shop for many SUNY Maritime related items.  Some recent activity includes funds donated to purchase DVD's for the Summer Sea Term ship library, Summer Sea Term donations to help offset the cost of port excursions, etc.  Every year student organizations receive funds from us.  Each year we strive to provide what we can. We generally fund those organizations which benefit the most students and the college at large. Our online store is designed to provide you with a safe and secure environment to browse our product catalog.

Support comes in many ways. Our executive board is involved with the administration. We help new MUG parents and civilian parents become acclimated; so you will better understand the Regiment, the INDOC process, the College and what it means to have a Student/Cadet at SUNY Maritime and what can you expect at the end of the road. You will have a chance to meet with parents of Students/Cadets at the school and parents of graduates at any events held on campus.

We look forward to meeting you - Welcome Aboard!
