⏰ Early bird pricing for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend!

Homecoming & Reunion Weekend is almost here and the best way to make the most of it is to register before you arrive.

Here's why pre-registering pays off:

Save money. Early bird pricing is available now through September 24th. Day-of registration prices for Saturday of Homecoming will increase significantly, so locking in your spot early means more money in your pocket for the weekend.

Save time. Pre-registered guests can check-in and head straight to the fun. Day-of registration means registration, payment, and waiting — all things better spent catching up with classmates.

We can't wait to welcome you back to campus September 25 – September 26! Don't wait — register today and arrive ready to celebrate: https://www.maritime.edu/alumni-friends/events/homecoming🚨⏰⏰

We are thrilled to announce a transformative partnership with New Balance and Clean Harbors Environmental Services that will shape the future of student wellness at Massachusetts Maritime Academy!

Together, we're bringing the New Balance Wellness Center at the Clean Harbors Athletic Facility to life – a new $30M, 18,000-square-foot space dedicated entirely to student health, fitness, and well-being. This state-of-the-art hub will give cadets the space and resources to build healthy habits, strengthen physical and mental resilience, and prepare for the demands of leadership in the maritime industry and beyond.

This partnership is more than a building – it's an investment in the whole cadet experience. New Balance and Clean Harbors share our belief that wellness is foundational to leadership, and that supporting students outside the classroom is just as critical as what happens inside it. From day one at the Academy through graduation and into their careers, this facility will help shape healthier, stronger, more resilient leaders for generations to come.

We're deeply grateful to New Balance and Clean Harbors Environmental Services for their generosity and vision, and we can't wait to see this space come to life on campus.

Who runs the ship?

Today is the final day of the Spring Giving Challenge. After going head-to-head earlier this week, Deck and Engine are now united in one final push against the rest of campus — and every dollar and donor counts. Invest in the cadets who will shape the future of the maritime industry.

The challenge ends tonight. Make your side proud.

Support the cadets who follow your wake.

The rivalry now becomes a united front. After two days of Deck vs. Engine, the two are joining forces to take on the rest of campus in the Spring Giving Challenge. No matter your department, company, or class year, every gift helps provide scholarship support for the cadets who will carry the tradition forward.

One Academy. One mission. One final push.
