Annual Alumni Weekend - February 13 and 14, 2026.

Thank you to all those who attended, hoping you had a good time and shared lots of experiences / sea stories.  Photos from the event can be found on the Facebook page.

February 13 (Friday)

Cadet/Alumni Mixer, 1900-2200, Incredible Mo's Bowling Alley. This is an informal event where alumni pay for cadet bowling and shoe rental.  

February 14 (Saturday)

Annual Business Meeting, 0900 at the Academy, room GL211. Please attend if you are able. 

Annual Alumni Dinner & Mariners' Ball,  1800-2300, Great Wolf Lodge. This dinner is open to cadets and alumni and is a formal event (jackets/ties for gentlemen, dresses or other formal attire for the ladies). Cadets can wear their uniforms if they dont have access to dress clothes. Cocktail hour will begin at 1800 followed by the dinner around 1900. As always, please consider sponsoring a cadet when you purchase your meal. To attend and pay, please go to the 'Pay GLMAAA' tab.

We are continuing our partnership with NMC's Alumni Engagement office. They will help us stay in contact with all of you, and you may see emails and physical mail from them on our behalf. This remains beneficial and enables us to communicate better, and more frequently, with Alumni. Our organization will remain our own and in complete control of the alumni with NMC assisting us in solely a support role. 

As a reminder, we have stopped using the GLMA offices as our mailbox and our mailing address for correspondence is:

Great Lakes Maritime Academy Alumni Association    (you can use GLMAAA as well)

PO Box 274

Acme, MI 49610

If anyone has exciting news they want to share, feel free to email us or use the Contact Us page and let us know and we will share it for you!

Please take a look at the Cadets page for info on our new eMentoring program! It is just a start, but shows much promise!

So take a look around. Check all the pages. Feel free to pay dues and buy your dinners online or contribute to the Scholarship or General Fund on the Pay GLMAAA page. Make sure we have your email by filling out the subscribe form on our Mailing List page. And drop us a line on the Contact Us Page or email us right here and let us know what you think! 

Thanks for stopping by!!!
