BUZZARDS BAY, Mass -- This Spring, Director of Athletics Mike Kelley announced the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2024. This year's class includes six members, a contributor to the Department and five former Buccaneers student-athletes.

This September, the prestigious Massachusetts Maritime Academy Athletics Hall of Fame will induct the following former Buccaneers as the newest class of inductees:

"We are excited and honored to welcome these six former Buccaneers into our Athletics Hall of Fame," said Director of Athletics Mike Kelley. "These individuals were huge contributors to our programs and we could not be more proud to call them Bucs. We look forward to celebrating their success in September when they are enshrined in our Hall of Fame."

Following graduation, Pam served as an assistant coach with the men's soccer team, has led many of the program's alumni events, and has been a strong financial supporter and contributor of the program. Musa is a former MMA Alumni of the Year recipient and helped establish the Safe Harbors Scholarship which helps provide students interested in Massachusetts Maritime with scholarship opportunities. 

John Augulewicz was a member of the Buccaneers basketball team from 1979 to 1982. He was a two-time All-Conference player in 1980 and 1981 and was a part of the team that won the 1980-1981 All-New England Championship. That team was also inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.
