On Tuesday, May 1, SUNY Maritime College held its 15th annual Admiral’s Scholarship Dinner, which honors industry executives and raises funds to help the next generation of maritime leaders. This year’s dinner honored leaders from both Turner Construction Group, an international construction services company, as well as Foremost Group, an internationally recognized shipping company. In total a record $800,000 was raised for scholarships.
