Friday’s unveiling of Maine Maritime Academy’s new Maritime Industrial Workforce Training Center in Brunswick! ⚓️

This state-of-the-art facility will train the next generation of shipbuilders, welders, electricians, and machinists — powering Maine’s maritime and manufacturing ...future.

As President Craig Johnson shared, “What this means for Maine’s youth are unprecedented opportunities we haven’t seen before.”

We’re proud to be forging the fleet of the future — right here in Maine. 💪

Captains Carrie and Jay Stewart, both proud Maine Maritime Academy alumni, recently shared a remarkable moment when Carrie brought her new command home to Charleston Harbor — piloted in by her husband.

Their story began at MMA in 1996 and has since spanned oceans, decades, and countless ...voyages. From global operations with the U.S. Military Sealift Command to years of service as a Charleston Branch Pilot, the Stewarts have built two extraordinary careers—together.

A true testament to seamanship, partnership, and the lifelong bonds forged at Maine Maritime Academy. 🌊💙

⚓ From RPT to Induction: A Look Back at MUG Month

As the Regiment of Midshipmen came together for today's Regimental Induction Ceremony, we took a moment to look back at where it all began.

From the first days of Regimental Preparatory Training to this weekend’s ...milestone, our newest Midshipmen grew, learned, and led—together.

Congratulations to all on completing MUG Month and officially joining the ranks of the Regiment of Midshipmen. The journey has just begun.

#mainemaritime #regiment #MUGMonth #LeadershipInAction #CareerPath

This morning, MUG athletes who will be away competing this weekend took their Oath of Midshipmen, marking an important step in their journey as members of the Regiment.

MIDN Odegaard Fields, Regimental Commander, reminded our newest Midshipmen that these four years are a time for growth, ...leadership, and pushing beyond what feels comfortable. He encouraged them to lift others along the way, embrace challenges, and embody the values of honor, loyalty, and devotion to duty — shaping themselves into the leaders our world needs.

Join us tomorrow for the Regimental Induction Ceremony, beginning with Drill Review at 9:30 a.m. on campus. For those unable to attend in person, the event will be livestreamed so you can celebrate this milestone from anywhere.
