Ninth annual NJCAA Day: Empower the Future: Building Legacies

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The 9th annual NJCAA Day centers around encouraging others to consider the two-year route through acknowledging legacies built by former and current NJCAA student-athletes as well as the future goals of the association and its members for years to come. The NJCAA gives student-athletes the tools necessary for success both on the field and in the classroom while also instilling confidence in them to chase their dreams and reach their goals. The opportunities presented at the two-year level are endless, and shining a light on those who have firsthand experience will empower others to consider building their legacy at a two-year institution. 

Student-athletes are encouraged by their community, member college, and the association to reach their full potential. With this year's NJCAA theme of Empower the Future: Building Legacies, the NJCAA strives to recognize the opportunities provided at the two-year level and the endless possibilities that NJCAA student-athletes are afforded at this level. Whether athletically or academically, the NJCAA provides student athletes with a chance to chase their dreams, accomplish their goals, and better their futures. 

"NJCAA Day is an opportunity to shed a light on the many lives impacted by the association and highlight the amazing legacies of current and former NJCAA student-athletes," stated Dr. Christopher J. Parker, NJCAA President & CEO. "With this year's theme, we look forward to celebrating all who built their legacies after having chosen the junior college route and look forward to sharing our game plan for continuing to build legacies for generations to come."   

Last year's theme, Empower the Future, focused around encouraging others to consider the two-year route through acknowledging the success and accomplishments of former and current NJCAA student-athletes.
