A Message from the President As a former US Coast Guard reservist during high school and college, I was attracted to the sea for all it had to offer, especially the life-saving tradition that the Coast Guard tradition offered. While my formal education was helpful, it was the sea and the men and women that toiled on her that provided me with the best education that I have experienced to date.

I began my merchant marine career as an ordinary seaman on the M/V Lake Charles, a 125,000 cubic meter LNG carrier. Life on the Lake Charles and numerous other merchant ships gave me the background necessary to obtain an Unlimited Mates License and a Limited Masters License and to learn the necessary life skills that were needed to run a number of maritime related businesses with global scope.

As a result of my many experiences I have dedicated my life to giving back to the men and women of my community – the maritime community.

Any young man or woman seeking advice from me about careers at sea gets the same speech that I was given: “Your fondest memories will revolve around your sea-going career.”

I remember the vivid moments when I saw the luminescent porpoise swimming alongside the bow of our vessel leading us from the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic Ocean during a moonlit evening, or seeing

the humpback whales breaching in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

With the advent of STCW ’95, many predicted that smaller educational programs outside of higher educational models would fail. Well, that was almost two decades ago and Northeast Maritime Institute is now over 30 years old. We hope to continue to serve the maritime community with as much enthusiasm as we had when we started.

I hope that your interest in a maritime career brings you through the doors of Northeast Maritime Institute as it has been the stopping point for over 12,000 mariners since 1981. We will and shall always consider it an honor to serve as the platform from which many a mariner began a career or augmented his or her career track by attending classes here. More importantly, we want to ensure that we abide by our own creed to “Honor the Mariner.”

My best to all,

Eric R. Dawicki President Northeast Maritime Institute

“Your fondest memories will revolve around your sea-going career.”

Non-Discrimination / Non-harassment Policy Under the Institute’s policy harassing or discriminatory behaviors will not be tolerated. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every member of the NMI community to strictly comply with the policy and any procedures directed by the President to implement the policy.

Unlawful Discrimination: different treatment of or denial of a benefit to a person because of the person’s protected status. Harassment, which is defined below, is a form of discrimination.

Harassment: verbal, visual, or physical behavior that: 1. can reasonably be perceived by the receiver(s) as unwelcome/offensive and refers in a demeaning way to characteristics of any of the groups listed in the policy statement; and 2. creates a hostile or adverse work/educational environment; and subjects employees or students to different terms or conditions based on the characteristics listed in the policy statement.

Examples of harassment may include, but are not limited to: comments, slurs, jokes, symbols, innuendos, cartoons, pranks, physical harassment, etc., which are derogatory on the basis of characteristics listed in the policy statement.

b. HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT cases: harassment that creates a "hostile" work or educational environment.

In typical "hostile work environment" cases, a superior either creates or condones a work environment in which sexual harassment exists. A hostile environment can be caused by sexually demeaning jokes or remarks.

2. Sex-Based Harassment: a behavior that degrades, denigrates, ridicules, and/or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived gender or sexual orientation.

3. Racial Harassment: a behavior that denigrates, ridicules, and or is verbally or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived race.

4. Harassment Based on National Origin: a behavior that denigrates, ridicules, and/or is physically abusive of an employee/student because of his or her perceived ancestry, heritage or background identification.

The most common types of harassment are 1. Sexual Harassment: Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. The courts have interpreted the principles reflected in the EEOC guidelines as describing two principle types of sexual harassment: a. QUID PRO QUO cases: harassment used as a term or condition of employment or when specific academic or employment benefits are withheld as a means of coercing sexual favors. This type of harassment occurs when the party in the superior position of power uses his or her actual or apparent authority to hire, fire, discipline, promote, or otherwise affect an employee’s benefits of employment or to make academic benefits contingent on desired responses to implied or overt overtones of a sexual or romantic nature.
