Voyage Plan
2026 Strategic Plan
The Strategy of SUNY Maritime College was developed through the Planning, Budget, and Assessment Committee (PBAC)—a campus-wide shared governance process that encouraged input from every corner of our community. From collaborative committee work to open dialogue at faculty and staff town halls, this inclusive effort helped shape a Strategy that truly reflects the spirit and direction of the College.
Our updated Strategy—our Voyage Plan—is a forward-looking evolution of the 2018 Strategic Plan. It remains firmly grounded in the College's 'Why' and our enduring Core Values.
At THE Maritime College, we believe American shipping and the global maritime industry are vital forces in New York, the United States of America, and a connected world. Their impact on trade, security, and sustainability drives us to innovate and lead in maritime education, creating solutions that shape a better future.
