SUNY Maritime College As President on August 31, 2011, and I Am Pleased to Share This Snapshot of the Tremendous Work That Is On-Going at SUNY Maritime College 2011-2012 ANNUAL REPORT THE STATE UNIVERSITY of NEW YORK Maritime College ADMIRAL’S DINNER 2 From The President Dear SUNY Maritime Nation: This report is a reflection of the many accomplishments that took place over the fiscal year, July 1, 2011- June 30, 2012. I joined SUNY Maritime College as President on August 31, 2011, and I am pleased to share this snapshot of the tremendous work that is on-going at SUNY Maritime College. Internationally recognized as one of the leading maritime institutions of higher learning in the world, SUNY Maritime has the unique advantage of being situated in New York City, the financial capital of the world and home to one of the largest ports in the world. This exposure provides the foundation and the point of departure for Maritime and our impact nationally and globally. We are grateful for the support we received over the year from our committed alumni, friends and industry partners. Our ties to industry giants in the maritime world provide our College with tremendous support and create true public-private partnerships – giving us the ability to impact our world in a positive and beneficial manner. One of the year’s highlights came in October, 2011, during the closing bell ceremony at NASDAQ’s Times Square Headquarters in mid-town Manhattan, when we celebrated Wärtsilä’s donation of a diesel engine, valued at one-million dollars and the creation of the Wärtsilä diesel engine laboratory. Throughout the year, we achieved much. We moved forward with the building of our new academic structure and expect to open the doors to this amazing addition to our campus in the fall of 2013. The College continues to prepare our students to be 21st Century leaders and is doing more to connect with our community and to attract our future students and the future leaders of our maritime industry. With valued support from our alumni, industry partners and friends we look forward to keeping up our momentum in the coming years. For SUNY Maritime College, the future holds great promise. Best Regards, Wendi B. Carpenter Rear Admiral, USN (Ret.) President SUNY Maritime College L-R: SUNY Chancellor, Nancy L. Zimpher, Cadet Emily Motz, and SUNY Maritime President, RADM Wendi B. Carpenter, USN, (Ret.) SUNY Chancellor’s Award Winners for Student Excellence L-R: SUNY Chancellor, Nancy L. Zimpher, Cadet Daniel Salazar, and 4 SUNY Maritime President, RADM Wendi B. Carpenter, USN, (Ret.) Academic Achievement This past June, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education re-affirmed the accreditation for our Associates, Bachelors and Masters degrees. In addition, SUNY Maritime’s Bachelor’s degree program in Electrical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Marine Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture 2011-2012 were accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc., SUNY Chancellor’s Award Winners for Student Excellence the recognized accreditor of college and university programs in applied science, ANNUAL REPORT computing, engineering, and technology. ABET accreditation demonstrates a program’s commitment to providing its students with a quality education. SUNY Maritime College successfully passed the US Coast Guard Audit “with flying colors.” The audit was conducted jointly between USCG and MARAD. The purpose of the audit was to “determine process effectiveness and compliance with current federal regulations and STCW requirements.” Maritime was credited with making “significant improvements to the facilities and engineering simulation and the auditors also noted that “the professionalism, enthusiasm, and cooperative attitude from all faculty, staff, and students were instrumental in making the audit a success.” The USCG MARAD audit takes place every five years. Our faculty continue to serve at the forefront of maritime education. In 2012, faculty have made presentations on their research at national and international conferences. We have reinvigorated our LEAD 101 course that serves as a basic-college-survival course, and as a result, the average GPA of new students increased. The Learning Center and academic advisement programs were renewed. The Global Maritime Center for Research, Development, Education, and Training was established in the spring of 2012. Under the direction of Dr. Richard Burke, the Center has six areas of concentration: Research and Development; Continuing Education; K-12 Education and Outreach; Leadership and Executive Development; Maritime Homeland Security; Maritime Strategic Conferences. L-R: SUNY Chancellor, Nancy L. Zimpher, Cadet Daniel Salazar, and 5 SUNY Maritime President, RADM Wendi B. Carpenter, USN, (Ret.) 6 Summer Sea Term For the fourth year in a row, due to increased enrollment in the SUNY Maritime 2011-2012 College Regiment of Cadet Corps, the College held two 45-day Summer Sea Term sessions aboard the College’s training ship, The Empire State VI. Second and third class ANNUAL REPORT Cadets took part in one of the two 45-day sessions. First class Cadets were on-board for the full 90 days. More than 735 Cadets took part in the Summer Sea Term (19 from Maine Maritime Academy and 50 from Texas A&M), that began on May 9, 2012, and concluded with the ship’s return to the College’s Olivet Pier on August 6, 2012. Also over the summer 2012 session, 73 students took part in the College’s Cadet Observer program that also saw growth. The Cadet Observer Program provides real-life maritime exposure to further prepare deck and engine students for their USCG Third Mate’s, Engineer’s, or Limited license in a professional, industry- supported environment, on-board a commercial vessel. During the first 45-day Summer Sea Term that began on May 9, 2012, The Empire State VI made port calls in San Miguel, Azores and Reykjavik, Iceland. Returning after the first session, on June 20, 2012, the Empire State VI visited the Port of Norfolk, VA. Cadets from the first Summer Sea Term session changed out and a new group of students boarded the ship for the second session. The ship departed Norfolk on June 23, 2012, and visited the European ports of Gibraltar and Liverpool, England, before returning to the Maritime campus on August 6, 2012. While at sea, the Cadets are kept on a busy schedule learning ship handling, maneuvering, boat training, navigation and leadership. 7 Enrollment 8 Enrollment UNDERGRADUATE Grad Undergrad 5% 3% 2000 NY State 1800 Residents 1600 22% In-­‐Region 1400 1200 Out-­‐of-­‐State 1000 70% 800 600 Interna;onal Students 400 Undergrad Graduate 200 NY State Residents 1101 64 0 In-Region 346 44 Spring Spring Spring Spring Spring Spring Spring Out-of-State 45 15 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 International Students 75 25 2011-2012 ANNUAL REPORT Enrollment numbers for undergraduate students were 1,661 and 162 for graduate students.

This presentation is largely about strategies for dealing with legacy description. Not just in terms of data migration or updating standards, but what to do when you inherit a large scale collection that was organized using a methodology that no longer works in a 21st century context. This is what happened to me at SUNY Maritime with the college’s institutional records. SUNY Maritime College Maritime College was the first maritime school in the country, founded in 1874. As such it became a model for subsequent maritime schools. There are only five other state maritime colleges and one federal academy in the nation. These schools train students to become licensed merchant mariners. Merchant mariners operate the large-scale commercial vessels that move goods around the world. The Merchant Marine may also be called to active duty during times of war, moving troops and supplies. Maritime College had no land-based campus until 1938.

  • 3.6 Cultural Resources
    Section 3 Affected Environment 3.6 Cultural Resources 3.6.1 Introduction This section identifies cultural resources, which include archaeological resources and historic architectural resources located in the Study Area, and the prehistoric and historic contexts in which to place the cultural resources, and assesses the potential effects of the Proposed Action on these resources. The Study Area comprises the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the Proposed Action and 1,000 feet of the APE; the APE for this analysis is defined as the 243 parcels (440 tax lots). In addition to determining the potential effects of the Proposed Action on identified cultural resources, the objectives of this analysis was be to demonstrate the long history of the Oneida within the Central New York Region and in particular, the parcels owned by the Nation that are subject of the trust transfer to the U.S. government; that the Oneida occupation and utilization of the Central New York Region is part of an even longer term utilization of this area by prior Native American cultures; and the importance of the Study Area (inclusive of the lands now owned by the Nation) to Oneida heritage, tradition, and identity both spiritually and in terms of developed lifeways. The Oneida homeland extends across present-day Oneida and Madison Counties in the Central New York Region, stretching from the upper Mohawk valley to the Oneida River drainage basin and includes the 17,370 acres of land now owned by the Nation and proposed for trust transfer. At its greatest historic extent, Nation lands extended from the Saint Lawrence River to the upper Susquehanna valley and beyond, a domain of about six million acres.

  • FORT SCHUYLER, State University of New York Maritime College {East of the Throggs Neck Bridge), Throggs Neck, Borough of the Bronx
    Landmarks Preservation Commission April 19, 1966, Number 2 LP-0124 FORT SCHUYLER, State University of New York Maritime College {east of the Throggs Neck Bridge), Throggs Neck, Borough of The Bronx. Begun 1833, completed 1856. Landmark Site: Borough of The Bronx Tax Map Block 5530, Lot 100 in part, consist­ ing of the land on which the described building is situated. On January 11, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Fort Schuyler, State University of New York Maritime College and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 26). One witness spoke in favor of designation. The Commission continued the public hearing until February 8, 1966 (Item No. 25). At that time no speakers appeared to testifY. Both hearings were duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. There were no speakers in opposition to designation at either meeting. In a letter from Vice Admiral H. c. Moore, U. S. C. G, (Ret.), President of the College, he stated, "Designation of Fort Schuyler as a Landmark certainly appears to be appropriate and eonsistent with the thinking of both Federal and state governments". DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS This handsome pentagonal Fort, built of Connecticut granite, was originally designed for an armament of three hundred and twelve guns. It is a fine example of military masonry construction with ita horizontally coursed, rock-faced granite stones square-edged to provide flush mortar joints. Small arches are neatly cut out of single pieces of stone, while larger openings are skillfully built up of individual stones {voussoirs) with a keystone at the top.
