Seventy‐five years a er its inaugural season (1938‐39),

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.
Throughout the 2012‐13 academic year, the NJCAA will

including a special sec on of the NJCAA website:
NJCAA.org/75. Tradi onal press releases will be
