States with over 500 member colleges in 43 states.

Recognized as the leader in two‐year collegiate athle cs,

the NJCAA champions both athle c and academic

member colleges.

To commemorate its 75th Anniversary, the NJCAA will

launch a year‐long campaign to celebrate the milestones,

student‐athletes, coaches, and administrators that have

helped shape the organiza on and advance two‐year

collegiate athle cs over the past eight decades.
