Parents’ Weekend
-
Parents’ Weekend at the United States Merchant Marine Academy is a cherished tradition where families are welcomed to Kings Point to witness the remarkable transformation and daily rigors of the Regiment of Midshipmen. Throughout the weekend, parents and guests have the unique opportunity to experience life at the Academy firsthand, from attending formal dress parades and athletic events to exploring the historic campus and engaging with dedicated faculty and staff. It is a time of immense pride, as midshipmen showcase their commitment to academic excellence, regimental discipline, and the institution's guiding principle of Acta Non Verba. This special event not only strengthens the vital bond between the Academy and the families who support our future maritime leaders, but it also highlights the exceptional caliber of the young men and women preparing to serve our nation's commercial fleet and armed forces.
