Fort Schuyler Magazine Spring 2020

Dear Maritime College Alumni, On behalf of the Maritime College Alumni Association, it is my great pleasure to support the Foundation’s One Hand Student Relief Fund. At a time when many individuals and families find themselves seriously impacted by the coronavirus, the Admiral has come to the MCAA and asked for our help in raising support for students struggling with the cost of tuition, Sea Term, and other necessary items needed to graduate.

Best Regards,
