Public Affairs

The Office of External Affairs is responsible for managing the Academy's daily contact with alumni, parents, and visitors.  From Homecoming, to Boy Scout Weekend, to June Ball and Graduation, OEA is the public face of the Academy.  OEA staff is responsible for the management of special events such as lectures and dinners, and works closely with the food service, Officer's Club and other departments. 

OEA is also responsible for arranging all organized tours and visits of the campus.  They also handle all requests for use of Academy facilities by outside organizations.  Within the Office of External Affairs, the Public Information Office responds to all press inquiries, and provides information on the Academy to the local media, as well to the hometown newspapers of students and graduates. 

Finally, OEA works closely with our four key support organizations, the USMMA Alumni Foundation, the USMMA Parents Association, the American Merchant Marine Museum, and the Kings Point Maritime Association.
