Welcome to Cal Maritime At this very moment, Cal Maritime graduates are shaping the afloat and shoreside industry in new and meaningful ways. Whether they are circumnavigating the globe carrying humanitarian aid or managing the supply chain for a Fortune 500 company, the passion and commitment instilled by their time as students continues to fuel their efforts as a professional. We are excited to welcome you into this world-changing community of cadets, faculty, staff, and alumni. As you think about the courses you plan to take this fall and the extracurricular activities you want to pursue here on campus, we want to assure you that there is no “best” way to experience a Cal Maritime education. We want to encourage you to consider how you will use your time here, where you will devote your talents, and what you might do to contribute to the Cal Maritime community. While it might be easy to continue familiar patterns in a new place, we want to remind you that your past does not define you. At Cal Maritime, you will author your own story, and in the process with your fellow cadets, you will help write the next chapter of Cal Maritime’s story as well.
