Calhoun Community College to Reinstate Athletics Program

 

Calhoun Junior College President Marilyn Beck  announced today the reinstatement of the college's athletics program to take effect immediately.

The announcement was made after Beck's meeting earlier today with Dr. Roy Johnson, chancellor of the Alabama College System.

"We will start our program with baseball and women's fast-pitch softball teams this fall, and plan to add men's and women's basketball next year," stated Beck. "We are definitely on the fast track in the recruiting area, and we encourage any students interested in our program to contact the college immediately."

"Calhoun has a long and very successful legacy in the area of athletics, and I am extremely pleased with the decision by Dr. Beck and the Calhoun administration to bring the program back to the college."

Commenting on the decision to reinstatement Calhoun's athletic program, Johnson said, " Calhoun Community College is one of the state's premier comprehensive community colleges, and this addition of athletics at the college will make it 'comprehensive' in the truest sense of the word.
