HARFORD ATHLETICS
VISITOR’S GUIDE
2014-15Harford at a Glance:Located in Bel Air, Maryland, Harford Community College is a fully accredited, public, two-year comprehensive institution of higher education, addressing the diverse educational needs of Harford County. An open admission institution that views learning as a life-long activity, the College provides transfer and career programs and continuing education courses to challenge and support students regardless of age, color, disability, national origin, race, religion, sex or sexual orientation.
Harford is a full, Division I member of the National Junior College Athletic Association, sponsoring 14 varsity sports which compete in the NJCAA’s Region 20 in addition to conference competition in the Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference, commonly referred to as the MdJuco Conference. The intercollegiate athletic program provides the opportunity for eligible student-athletes to represent the institution in high-level competition, while enhancing their educational experience in areas of skill development, teamwork and sportsmanship. The teams also provide spectators and fans institutional pride as a rallying point for the college community and the Harford County area.
Outstanding facilities and coaches are a hallmark of the program. Harford’s teams are nicknamed the “Fighting Owls”, which was chosen during the institution’s early years, when it was largely an evening college and the nocturnal nature of the Owl represented that fact. The name has come to symbolize the long and storied history of athletics at the College.
