Advanced Studies Center Dedicated At Maine Maritime Academy

Maine Maritime Academy's newest facility, the Center for Advanced Maritime Studies (CAMS) and Conference Center, was dedicated in recent formal ceremonies in Castine. U.S. Congressman David F. Emery, James V. Day, Federal Maritime Commissioner and chairman, Maine Maritime Board of Visitors, and Samuel B. Nemirow, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Maritime Affairs, lead an array of dignitaries taking part in the event, a highlight celebration in connection with the Academy's 40th anniversary year.

A number of top executives of shipping companies and related industries from around the country, whose organizations were major donors to the reconstruction of Leavitt Hall as the Center for Advanced Maritime Studies, were on hand and recognized for their contribution. The donors satisfied the criteria established by MMA's Board of Trustees for the naming of rooms and areas located in Leavitt Hall, site of the Center for Advanced Maritime Studies and Conference Center.

The $1,850,000 complex contains the principal Academy administrative offices, lodgings for up to 35 program participants, and a variety of conference and meeting areas, including a 300-seat auditorium (Delano Hall).
