NJCAA to host Welcome Back Week August 6-10

Welcome back to another year of NJCAA athletics. The 2017-18 season introduced a new approach of welcoming back student-athletes, staff, and fans at the beginning of the year. The social media campaign saw unprecedented success among our member institutions, a year that helped the NJCAA reach new heights athletically, academically, and socially. To continue our success into the future, we need your help once again.

As student-athletes embark on their journey to begin or continue their collegiate playing careers, the NJCAA will embrace the beginning of the 2018-19 season with a social media campaign with a "Welcome Back Week" set for August 6-10. Each day will highlight a new feature with a similar mentality behind it- welcome back. Student-athletes, member institutions, and fans from around the world are encouraged to join the NJCAA in welcoming back our competitors using the social media hashtag .
