CSU Maritime Academy Alumni Association Award Nomination

Message from the Alumni Association

The Cal Maritime Alumni Association was overwhelmed with the volume of highly qualified candidates for the Alumni Association Awards this year. We are honored with the privilege of learning about the amazing things that our alumni and friends of the campus have and are doing. Besides the pleasure of selecting from so many qualified candidates, the next issue we face is comparing candidates whose nominations do not have enough information. For anyone who has ever submitted a nominee and it wasn't selected, we invite you back to our website or to email the Alumni Association alumni@csum.edu with more information. To best represent your nominations we especially need information that helps set your nominee apart and shows us how they meet the criteria, spirit, and intent of the award. We read everything - so don't be shy! Again, THANK YOU to all who submitted a nomination! We look forward to receiving updated information for past nominees and new nominees!
