🎖️ Honoring Service. Preserving Freedom.

This morning, Maine Maritime Academy gathered to recognize and thank those who have served our nation. In his remarks, Capt. Justin Cooper reminded us that “service is a lifelong commitment to something greater than ourselves.”

...From those who wore the uniform to those who continue to serve as mentors, first responders, and leaders in our communities—your courage, compassion, and dedication inspire us all.

To every veteran on our campus, in our community, and beyond: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your example. 🇺🇸

On Saturday, November 8, more than 70 prospective students and their families took a deep dive into Maine Maritime Academy’s academic programs during our Academic Focus Open House. ⚓️

They explored our labs, simulators, and training vessels; met with faculty, staff, and current ...students; and gained firsthand insight into all that MMA has to offer.

Our open houses are a great opportunity to visit campus, experience our hands-on learning environment, and discover why Maine Maritime Academy may be the perfect fit for your future.

Our next Open House is scheduled for April 4, 2026 — we hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last weekend. We can’t wait to see where your course leads next! 🌊

🎯 This fall, the team at Maine Maritime Academy delivered powerful One Love Foundation “Behind the Post” workshops to students across campus. Starting in August, pre-RPT trainings with Midshipmen Training Officers and Residential Assistants reached 120 students, and in October—during ...Domestic Violence Awareness Month—additional sessions with 4th, 3rd, and 2nd Class Midshipmen engaged another 540 students in meaningful discussions.

These interactive trainings challenged students to reflect on healthy relationships, recognize unhealthy behaviors, and commit to taking care of one another as shipmates and community members.

The One Love Foundation is a national non-profit organization dedicated to ending relationship abuse by empowering young people with the knowledge to recognize and build healthy relationships.
