To ensure the safety of our staff and midshipmen, the Academy campus will be in a Modified Operational Status on Monday, January 26, 2026, due to inclement weather.

Employees with an approved situational telework agreement in CASTLE are expected to work remotely unless they are taking approved leave. 

Employees who do not have an approved situational telework agreement in CASTLE shall use unscheduled leave (e.g., annual leave or other approved time off).  For those who are at a critical level with respect to leave time, there may be a way to still telework on Monday, 26 January 2026; If OPM declares a closure and has the government operating under a Continuity of Operations Plan, emergency telework can be used.  Please work with your supervisors to ensure you are using “Safety” as your ultimate guidance with respect to the Academy’s intent to modify operations this Monday.  

All scheduled classes (first through eighth periods) will be conducted virtually.

We will seek to keep the library open depending on the availability of staff to provide student study space or connections to virtual class.

Faculty will communicate directly with students regarding the status of their classes. 

The Seafarer, Navy Exchange and the Navy Federal Credit Union will be closed.  

Please note that additional emergency notifications may be sent to contacts on file.

USMMA Hosts Second Annual Auto Show at Kings Point

 KINGS POINT, N.Y., May 26, 2016 – Earlier this month, the United States Merchant Marine Academy’s (USMMA) Regimental Auto Club hosted its Second Annual Auto Show on the Academy grounds. The event, included classic, historic and modified vehicles.   Club Advisor, CAPT Peter Kahl, Professor of Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management, said, “It was a great experience to witness the club members coming together to carry out this car show.  In the end they showed the value of a club activity that brings together students from all classes and majors to accomplish the goal of showing off our academy to the public while enjoying the company of some awesome cars and car owners."

Guests toured the Academy grounds, museum and historic buildings, but the highlight of the day was seeing the cars - including a 1964 ½ Mustang “shorty” two seat factory prototype.

First Class Midshipman, Daniel Giaccio-Williams summarized his experience as a member of the club, “the 2nd USMMA Auto Show provided the regiment of midshipmen with an important event to get behind and take pride in, while also connecting with the community through a common appreciation and love for the cars of yesterday and today. It was a great day to experience the marvels of automotive engineering and demonstrate the appreciation that our club and school have for them.”
