Helping SNAME Student Sections: A New Student Leadership Training Program Matthew Unger Chairman, SNAME Student Steering Committee Member, SNAME Executive Committee SNAME Student Sections provide two very important, and largely unrecognized, functions for all of the Society: (1) Student Sections are SNAME’s primary mechanism for recruiting new Student Members, and (2) students have the most exposure to SNAME at the Student Section level. In other words, Student Sections represent the whole of SNAME to many of the Society’s Student Members. So when you think about it, SNAME should really be helping the Student Sections whenever it possibly can. Thanks to the great attendance and feedback from the Student Summit (held this past October in Houston), the Student Steering Committee (SSC) realized that one way to help the Student Sections (and thereby all of SNAME) was to offer formal training to the leaders of the Student Sections. With training and a better familiarization with SNAME, our Student Section leaders will be better equipped to run their respective sections. With that said, I am extremely pleased to announce that the SNAME Executive Committee has accepted an SSC proposal to hold a student leadership seminar! Read more ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Following a winter break, students at MIT “scattered” for the month of January, during which MIT’s Independent Activities Period (IAP) took place. Some students came back to campus for short courses in a variety of topics of interest to them, while others stayed away and found month long internships. Still other students, including most of the graduate students, came back to campus to continue their research. Our second semester finally commenced with the first day of classes being held on February 7th.

A little known American commemorative date is approaching on May 22. Working behind the scenes, a group of Washington, D.C., maritime industry officials hope to make this an event one the whole nation embraces.In 1933, Congress decreed May 22 as National Maritime Day. Each year since it has been a day for the United States to observe its proud maritime heritage, honor the men and women who serve and have served as merchant mariners, and recognize the many benefits that result from our American maritime industry. National Maritime Day also follows on the heels of National Transportation Week, which the U.S. Department of Transportation has announced will run the week of May 14-20.As a way to underscore the critical importance of the maritime industry to the national transportation network, this year the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), supported by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the American Association of Port Authorities, The Propeller Club of the United States, Waterways Council, Inc., and other maritime groups, will introduce an awareness campaign designed to focus national attention on the maritime industry. Called, "Maritime Matters," the campaign will help to communicate the value of the maritime industry in relation to the economy, national security, jobs, environmental protection, agriculture, quality of life, recreation and more.
