MEMORANDUM
TO: All Guests and Students
FROM: Dan O’Malley, General Manager
SUBJ: Recent Public Health Concerns
Dear Guest,
We are monitoring the situation regarding the 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Since COVID-19 is an emerging disease, more will be learned about how it spreads, and the best preventative measures. For now, health officials recommend the same common sense practices used against the spread of the flu. We encourage you to practice healthy behaviors such as covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands often, and limiting person-to-person contact. A “fist bump” is better than a handshake.
MCC has taken a number of steps to reduce risk at our facilities. Hand sanitizer stations have been located at all entrances, lobby, dining room, and other locations. Classrooms are also equipped with tissue boxes. “Hands-free” soap dispensers are installed in the public restrooms. Housekeeping has increased the frequency of disinfecting door handles, railings, tables and chairs. (Please inform one of our team members if you find a dispenser that needs to be refilled.)
Also, please see the attached flyer from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which outlines the very basic stops on how to stop the spread of germs, along with phone numbers and a website to stay up to date.
If we can do anything to make your stay or visit more comfortable, please let us know. If you have any questions, please call me directly at 443-989-3286 or email [email protected].

Effective January 1, 2021, Capt. Jonathan (Jon) Kjaerulff has assumed the duties of Director of Business Development at MITAGS. Jon succeeds Capt. Bob Becker, who is retiring this year, but will maintain his association with MITAGS as a consultant.

Jon is also helping MITAGS implement new and exciting training and assessment methodologies, such as Digital Learning, Virtual and Augmented Reality. “This is a very exciting and challenging time to be in the training business,” says Jon. “So many basic concepts about how, where and to whom we provide instruction and assessment have changed in the last few months. Our customers demand quality programs that can be delivered more effectively and efficiently, which respect their employees’ time but also enhance their knowledge and safety skills. As the world changes around us, I look forward to helping MITAGS navigate these new, uncharted waters while maintaining our position as the Leader in Maritime Training and Simulation.”
