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.

One Mission. Different Watch.

Day 2 of the Deck vs. Engine Giving Challenge is here, and the rivalry is heating up. Though they may stand different watches, both sides share the same mission: supporting the future cadets of Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Who will take the lead before the challenge expands tomorrow?

Make your gift. Represent your side. Keep the tradition moving forward.

Day 1 of the Deck vs. Engine Giving Challenge is officially underway!

For the next two days, Deck and Engine will battle to see who can raise the most scholarship support through dollars donated and number of donors during Coasties. Deck and Engine, your watch has started – time to prove who really keeps the ship moving.

Who runs the ship? Everyone talks about it – now it’s time to prove it.

Coasties begin Monday, and so does our Spring Giving Challenge!

On Monday and Tuesday, Deck and Engine will go head-to-head to see who can raise the most scholarship support through dollars donated and number of donors. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, Deck and Engine will join forces to take on everyone else.

Support the cadets who follow in your wake and help shape the next generation of leaders at Massachusetts Maritime Academy.

Congratulations to Dawn Tomasini '85 on receiving the 2026 Educator Alumni Award at yesterday's ceremony at the Massachusetts State House!

Dawn's journey is a remarkable one – from earning her B.S. in Marine Engineering at the Academy to working at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station, raising a family, and ultimately finding her calling in the classroom. For over 22 years, she has shaped young minds in science and math across Quincy Public Schools, and has had the joy of watching many of her former students choose Mass Maritime Academy as their own path forward.

Her story is a true synthesis of an engineer's mind and a teacher's heart. Well deserved, Dawn! 🎉

Are you an MMA alum working in K-12 education? We'd love to hear about your journey! Update us via email at [email protected] – stories like Dawn's remind us that the impact of a Maritime education reaches far beyond the water.
