MAINE MARITIME ACADEMY faces a challenge many colleges wish to
experience: demand that wel exceeds capacity. Undergraduate enrollment
at MMA has grown significantly in the past dozen years, from 836 in 2004
to 1,014 in the fal of 2016. As societal and legislative pressure has increased
the focus on return on investment of college tuition and loan debt, the high
placement rates and earning capabilities of MMA graduates have brought
national attention on the academy. MMA students are focused and driven and,
in many respects, that helps define us and set us apart from other colleges.
Student Involvement Students are involved in more than 30 active
clubs and organizations on campus. In 2016, 266 students, or more than 25%,
were members of a club or organization, ranging from sports clubs and affiliates
of national professional career organizations to volunteer and community
service groups. In addition, on average, 27% of students participated in varsity
athletics during the 2016-2017 academic year. The 2017 Student Life Awards
recognized 38 outstanding students in 10 award categories for contributions to
service projects, athletics, employment and volunteer programs, and other co-
curricular activities. Students volunteered as fire fighters and first responders
for Castine and Penobscot Volunteer Fire Rescue Departments; they ran Red
Cross Blood Drives, the Boy Scouts Klondike Derby, a Girl Scouts Sailaway, and
a Relay for Life; they taught young athletes in VolleyKids and DribbleKids; they
contributed to a Peninsula woodbank, a Castine town clean-up, a Castine Little
Library project, and Halloween and Easter festivities for Castine children, and
much more. Members of Alpha Phi Omega, a national co-ed service fraternity,
were very active, as were other clubs and organizations on campus.
