A Letter to Student-Athletes from Director of Athletics, Ed Durham

Hello Seahawks,

I want to share information with you for the upcoming 2020-2021 academic and athletic year.

Due to COVID-19, on July 13^th, the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) made the decision to move all sports to the spring semester. The only exceptions are colleges with cross country, golf and women's tennis. Those programs will remain in the fall semester.

In addition, Cecil College has made the decision to have all classes online and also incorporate hybrid formats. A few classes will have face-to-face interaction in small groups. Please speak with your academic advisors about guidelines and expectations for your classes. More information about how COVID-19 has affected the college community can be found at www.cecil.edu/coronavirus.

We as a staff are working with each program's coaching staff on a plan for safe return to practice and play. We are working on details to present to the college for fall workouts and practices. We will keep you updated as we go along. For now, please work and communicate with your coaches in order to ensure that you are prepared when we are able to return.

Please be advised that things are subject to change as we move forward during the pandemic and our plan is to keep you informed as best as possible. Our mission for this year is still to provide the best experience in the classroom, and on the court or field. We will work together to get through this.

At this time you should be registering for your fall classes and preparing for the upcoming semester. Contact advising at advising@cecil.edu in order to register. 

If you have questions or concerns please reach out to your athletic department staff and, as always, you can reach out to your coach(es), as well. Your staff members are as follows:

We look forward to meeting and working with all of you.

Sincerely,

Ed Durham, Director of Athletics
