The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Parents' Association and its local Parents'
Associations constitute a network of state and regional groups who support the Academy's
midshipmen and who have a common bond of pride and camaraderie. The Parents'
Associations share
information and their experience with candidates for admission and their parents.
Individual associations sponsor meetings and social events for the families of current
midshipmen, and encourage participation by candidates and their parents. For further
information about this program see the Local Parents'
Association page.
Please check out the Compass
Points Newsletter. It contains news about the various
associations,
their members and the Academy and it's midshipmen.
