Wor-Wic Community College accepted to NJCAA

SALISBURY, Md. – Wor-Wic Community College is one of three new institutions recently accepted to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), the premier governing body for two-year collegiate athletics.

As a result, Wor-Wic will offer men’s and women’s golf in addition to men’s and women’s cross country at the Division II level, beginning in the 2027–2028 academic year. Wor-Wic will be in NCJAA region 20.

“This is a transformative moment for Wor-Wic and the communities we serve,” said the college’s president, Dr. Deborah Casey. “By introducing athletics, we are not only enhancing the student experience, but also strengthening regional pathways, connecting education, discipline, teamwork and ultimately, workforce and transfer success.”

The NJCAA board of regents approved the recommendation of the membership committee during this year’s NJCAA convention in Kansas City. The addition of the Wor-Wic Dolphins further strengthens the NJCAA’s national footprint and commitment to serving student-athletes through opportunity, access and competition.

“The NJCAA is excited to welcome these three new members to our association,” Dr. Brett Monaghan, NJCAA vice president of championships, membership and sports governance, said. “As each institution worked through our new member process, it became apparent to our campus visit teams and membership committee that each of these schools aligned well with the NJCAA’s mission and values. We look forward to continuing to assist them all as they develop their individual athletic departments.”
