WESTFIELD, Mass. – The NCAA Board of Governors has outlined several criteria, including return to sport guidelines on testing and requested that each division make additional interpretations and decisions for their divisions. In response, one of the recent actions by the NCAA Division III Administrative Committee was to recommend member schools not compete in the fall term to avoid potential increased health and safety risks

We are excited to offer some new virtual intramural opportunities for this upcoming Fall semester!

The MASCAC and Fitchburg State University have announced that all competition for our fall sports has been suspended for the fall 2020 season. The programs impacted by this decision include men's and women's soccer, women’s volleyball, field hockey, men’s and women’s cross country and football. This news is tremendously disappointing, but was made in the best interest of the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff members.

Our Leading for Change team and our Center for Diversity and Inclusiveness are launching a theme, "Courageous Conversations." The first events using this theme will be three Open Forums this summer. For the first two, and maybe the third, we are using this: Courageous Conversations: All Lives Can't Matter Unless Black Lives Matter.
