WELCOME

Dear Maritime College Alumni and Friends, Welcome to the Maritime College 2020 Admiral’s Dinner. There is no doubt that the last six months have been extremely challenging. For some, it has been more challenging than for others, and I sincerely hope that each of you and your loved ones have been able to weather the storm, and remain safe and healthy.

While tonight’s dinner is a virtual event, the need for student financial support is real and has never been more crucial. Parents have lost jobs and income, students have had to contribute to the household to make ends meet, and graduation dates have been delayed. I recognize the pandemic has had similar negative impacts for many of our long-time partners and contributors. I am deeply grateful for the donations we have received to date, as well as your participation in tonight’s gala. To all of our sponsors who made this event possible, I sincerely thank you. Your generosity tonight is essential if we are to advance our mission of educating and training the next generation of dynamic maritime leaders. It all begins with our ability to remain consistent in attracting, enrolling and retaining the most qualified applicants. This evening we celebrate the next 100 Years of the Jones Act as we recognize the extraordinary accomplishments of four leaders in the U.S. maritime industry and staunch advocates of the Jones Act: • Mark Ruge, Partner, K&L Gates Law Firm • Jennifer Carpenter, President and CEO of American Waterways Operators • Lindsay Price, Senior Master, G&H Towing • Michael Roberts Senior, Vice President Crowley Maritime Each of our honorees holds an impressive background professionally and their stellar contributions to the U.S. maritime industry can be found on pages 14-17. Although Kim and I will miss sharing time with you personally, I look forward to taking you through a virtual tour of the campus this evening, highlighting the need for student scholarship support, and thanking our generous sponsors and donors. The need has never been greater, and there has truly been no greater time to give. Thank you for all you do to help our students achieve their dreams of becoming the future leaders of the global maritime industry. Best wishes,

RADM Michael Alfultis, USMS, Ph.D. President The State University of New York, Maritime College

SUNY Maritime Foundation, Inc.

Dear Alumni, Friends and Supporters, On behalf of the SUNY Maritime Foundation, it is our great pleasure to host the 2020 Virtual Admiral’s Dinner. Although not in person this year, the Admiral’s Dinner is still an extremely important event. The Foundation and SUNY Maritime College are proud to be celebrating the next 100 years of the Jones Act and recognizing four outstanding honorees – Jennifer Carpenter, President and CEO of American Waterways Operators; Lindsay Price ’07, Captain, G&H Towing; Michael Roberts, President of American Maritime Partnership and Senior VP at Crowley Maritime; and Mark Ruge, Partner at the law firm of K&L Gates. Each honoree represents the best of the U.S. Maritime industry. The Admiral’s Dinner event, being the primary source of funding for student scholarships, impacts the lives of so many students who rely on financial support to attend SUNY Maritime College. Last year, through the generosity of our sponsors and participants, the Dinner raised over $600,000. This year the venue is different and the need to raise scholarship funding has increased dramatically given the effects of the pandemic. As jobs were lost or hours cut, many of our hardworking students and their parents are finding it difficult to make ends meet. By supporting this virtual event, you will be investing in the success of a new generation of mariners – those who will launch the next 100 years of the Jones Act. So please be generous. The Foundation is an IRS-recognized charitable organization established to increase and manage private donations to support the vision and mission of the College. The volunteer Board of Directors serve as fiduciary agents providing independent stewardship and oversight of all funds raised, while Admiral Alfultis’ service as an ex-officio member ensures that the Foundation is fully informed of the school’s goals, challenges, needs and opportunities. With federal funding in place to build our new training vessel, it is an exciting time for the College and the future officers training to succeed in the maritime industry. It seems a fitting time to celebrate the next 100 years of the Jones Act, the backbone of the U.S. merchant marine that will directly support our future Fort Schuyler graduates. Not only does it provide stability to the U.S. maritime industry, it also helps sustain 650,000 American jobs resulting in $150 billion in economic benefits each year. Please sit back and enjoy the 2020 Virtual Admiral’s Dinner. Thank you to those who have already donated in support of the students. For those who have not yet given, please make a gift on-line by clicking HERE, through the mail, or by calling Aimee Bernstein, Executive Director of the Foundation, at 718.409.5475. By making a donation…. you are making a big difference in some student’s life! Best regards,

Dear Friends,

It is a privilege to send greetings to everyone attending SUNY Maritime College's Annual Admiral's Dinner. Congratulations to tonight's esteemed honorees, with gratitude for their service to the College and their community. I commend Maritime College - the oldest and largest maritime college in the nation - for all it does to educate the future leaders of the global maritime industry. Founded in 1874 as the New York Nautical School, the College is justly proud of its superb employment placement rate for careers in the maritime industry, armed forces, engineering, and beyond. Although this year's extraordinary circumstances prevent you from gathering in person as you have in years past, I know the Maritime College community will forge ahead to support the school. This year, as families across the nation face economic uncertainty, the funds for much-needed student scholarships raised at this dinner are more important than ever. I am grateful to all of you for your dedication to Maritime College. I send my best wishes for a wonderful evening and much success in the future. Sincerely,

Kirsten Gillibrand United States Senator

I am delighted to congratulate you as you celebrate the Admiral’s Dinner. The scholarship funds raised at this event are especially important for those who are financially affected by COVID-19. As Chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Higher Education, I have toured your facility and met the amazing students, faculty, and administrators.

I would like to congratulate the 2020 honorees: Jennifer Carpenter, President & CEO, the American Waterways Operators; Lindsay Price '07, Senior Master, G&H Towing Company; Mi- chael Roberts, President of American Maritime Partnership and Senior Vice President at Crowley Maritime; and Mark Ruge, Partner, K&L Gates.
