Kevin McHugh, executive director of Athletics and Recreation, shared the following message: 

Dear Osprey Student-Athletes, Coaches and Staff,
It is with profound sadness and regret that I write to inform you that ��������'s varsity sports teams will not participate in competition this fall season. �������� University, the Office of Athletics & Recreation and the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) have been working tirelessly for the past several months to explore an appropriate pathway for a return to intercollegiate competition while keeping the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff as the paramount concern.

The conclusion is that one of the most effective ways to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 exposure to our athletes, staff, and the campus is to suspend fall competitions.
