Remembering 9/11

As we reflect back 13 years ago on this tragic day, The Stephen B. Luce Library is repeating its “Remembering 9/11” exhibit and slideshow.  The physical exhibit showcases a few personal reflections on what happened on September 11, 2001. On display are memorabilia donated by Maritime’s own Major General Robert Wolf (Admissions) and Prof. Michael Gray (GBAT Department) who were first responders to the 9/11 tragedy. Also on display are the personal photographs of Captain Robert Pouch, then the Director of Board of Commissioners of Pilots of the State of NY, who was a first responder on the rescue efforts by the maritime community in the New York Harbor.

 

The physical and digital exhibits are on display in the Library’s foyer area and at the Information Desk, and an online slideshow is available via the Library’s web portal: http://www.sunymaritime.edu/stephenblucelibrary/911show.html

Women's History Month

As we close out Women's History Month, Stephen B. Luce Library highlights the history of women's courageous efforts at sea with an exhibit, Courage at Sea: Women Seafarers. This exhibit features some of the women pioneers in seafaring, including a few of SUNY Maritime's own such as the first woman to graduate (in 1974) and the first class of women graduates (class of 1978).

All are invited to view this exhibit online on the Library’s web portal at: http://www.sunymaritime.edu/stephenblucelibrary/exhibitseafaringwomen.htm

Also, visit the Library’s Foyer Exhibit area to view the Courage at Sea: Women Seafarers display and other exhibits and digital presentations.
