for Student Scholarships

A ttended by 350 alumni, friends and industry connections, SUNY Maritime College and the SUNY Maritime Foundation were proud to see the return of an in-person Admiral’s Dinner hosted on campus on September 21, 2021. Three outstanding individuals were honored who are each recognized leaders in the maritime industry: Captain John DeCruz ’92 , Full Branch Maritime Pilot and President, New York Sandy Hook Pilots Association, Jim Lawrence , Chairman, Marine Money and Founding Partner, MTI Network, and Greg

Tuthill ’86 , Chief Commercial Officer, SeaCube Container Leasing. The primary vehicle to raise much needed scholarship funding for current students, the Admiral’s Dinner is a vital event for the College. As a result of the outpouring of support on the part of generous sponsors, table and ticket purchasers, and those who donated during the auction or online, the Dinner raised close to $600,000. These funds will dramatically impact the lives of Maritime College students. Thank you for your support!
