As the member institutions of the New England Small College Athletic Conference focus on preparations for the coming academic year, the NESCAC Presidents have affirmed plans to resume full conference play and championships for all sports starting with the fall 2021 season. 
 
Our current plans are based on the continuing decline of COVID-19 infections across the country and the rising number of people vaccinated. It is possible, of course, that the pandemic will evolve in ways that may require new restrictions on athletic competition, but we are optimistic that we can adapt as needed. Any changes in policy regarding NESCAC competition will be made in accordance with local, state, and federal guidelines and NCAA health and safety protocols.
 
Our students have shown great resilience in the face of extraordinary challenges over the past 15 months. We look forward in the coming year to sharing with them the full range of activities that make our campuses so vibrant, including the excitement that comes with full NESCAC competition.
