THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 12 NOON
This annual conference will bring together cadets from the Federal and State Merchant Marine Academies and Colleges with professional mariners who are leaders in different sectors of the maritime industry. The event will be an excellent opportunity for cadets to learn about the exciting careers that are open to them directly from successful women as well as to hear about current issues affecting the maritime industry. This opportunity is also ideal for cadets and professionals alike to meet and network with others in the maritime industry.
Conference participants are invited to join us for a very special, no cost, pre-conference cruise on the Staten Island Ferry. Participants will depart campus at noon to head to downtown Manhattan to catch the Staten Island Ferry where you will receive a personal introduction to the inner-workings of the Ferry and the surrounding NY/NJ Harbor. Become one of the 60,000 daily passengers that come aboard the 5-mile, 25-minute ride on the Staten Island Ferry, which provides a majestic view of the New York Harbor, Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Participants will return to campus at 5:00 P.M. If interested in participating, please R.S.V.P. to ascotti@sunymaritime.edu
