Big News: The California State University Maritime Academy (Cal Maritime) will be acquired by California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). The announcement noted that "declining enrollment, increased compensation costs and rising operating expenses" resulted in the decision to merge. In addition, it stated that the "92-acre maritime campus in Vallejo, in Solano County, Calif., will be known as “Cal Poly, Solano Campus” and will house the Cal Poly Maritime Academy." "Integration will result in one university (Cal Poly) under one president, President Jeffrey D. Armstrong. After July 2025, a vice president and chief executive officer will lead the Solano campus while a superintendent will be appointed to lead the Cal Poly Maritime Academy."

We’re looking forward to the groundbreaking event this January for the new Maritime Center!

The facility will feature modern office spaces, executive suites, and state-of-the-art CTE classrooms, lab/shop spaces, and collaborative areas for 300 high school students from across Pierce County. Public shoreline access with trails along Foss Waterway will also be part of the site development. #AHBL #AHBLLife #PortofTacoma #TacomaPublicSchools #MaritimeCenter

Definitely a legend! I remember, half our math class left because he used to make people uncomfortable by asking them questions they could not answer. After the first test, they returned to his class...lol He just didn't teach math but also how to live the life of a problem solver. I learnt 2 important lessons in his first math class. The black bag. Learning is like putting new tools in an infinitely large black bag. When faced with a problem, pick the tool you think works. If the tool doesn't work, pick another and another until you find the one the that makes you say "Damn it, it works!". Keep learning to have as many tools in your black bag. Difficult problems are difficult for most people. Don't be afraid of taking on a challenging problem because you're afraid of looking dum. Even when you fail at solving a challenging problem, others learn something. At least what doesn't work. Failure drives people forward. The only hack is to fail as early as possible when the cost of failure is the lowest and the learning opportunity is the hightest.
