Even as we await final decisions by the Centennial Conference related to conference competition, the Activity Hour will also provide all athletic teams opportunities for team activities, which may include team meetings, team social events, practices, and study halls. While all activities must follow the health and safety protocols in place, this will allow athletic teams to maintain what makes athletics at McDaniel so special—a team committed to athletic, personal and academic growth. The NCAA states that Division III athletics “place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants” and it is through this lens that all teams are committed to continuing the development of student-athletes.
