Vision, Mission & Values
Our Vision
"To be the best collegiate waterfront in country, desired to be used by everyone."
SUNY Maritime College’s Waterfront shall be a vibrant hub of activity with nationally ranked sailing and crew teams and diverse water related campus and community activities seven days a week throughout the year. The Waterfront will host numerous courses, programs, regattas, clinics, and camps, as well as serve as a regional training center for water related activities.
The Center will be supported by an enthusiastic and dedicated staff with maintenance facilities, docks, boats, and administrative spaces that are a source of pride and enjoyment for students and their families, alumni, faculty, staff, the entire SUNY system and the community. It will also, by its exemplary operation, be an extension of the academic teachings of Maritime College.
In becoming “the best collegiate waterfront in the country,” Maritime College’s waterfront facilities will be a regional resource desired to be used by everyone.
Our Mission
Develop Leaders, Produce Champions
The mission of the Maritime College Waterfront is to develop leaders and produce champions, individuals who reach their full potential, on the water and in life.
This is accomplished by providing water related (i.e. sailing, crew, power boating, kayaking, swimming, SCUBA diving, marine envrionmental science) learning opportunities for coaches, instructors, students and the community that they might not otherwise experience. Offering these activities in a safe, fun learning environment will maximize the opportunity for individual growth including self confidence, communication, team work, leadership and respect for themselves, others and the natural environment.
New York Maritime College is uniquely qualified for this purpose as a result of its maritime education mission, outstanding waterfront facilities, and more than 130 years of experience using on the water training as a learning laboratory.
This mission will be supported by aggressively soliciting donations of boats, equipment, funds, and time and by implementing fee-based programs to provide the long-term, consistent support necessary to develop the best waterfront program in the country.
