NJIT Athletics to Offer Fan Cutouts for Wellness and Events Center

The NJIT Department of Athletics is pleased to offer a fan cut out program for the 2020-21 athletic season. All proceeds from this program will go to benefit the newly created Highlander Student-Athlete Health and Wellness Fund.

"This is an unprecedented time in college athletics and now more than ever we are dealing with so many issues both on and off the field," said NJIT Director of Athletics, Lenny Kaplan. "Through this program, all members of the Highlander Nation can continue to show their support for our teams by having a presence in the stands. Although we would love to have them in person and cheering we have to do what is best for the community right now."

By participating in the fan cut out program, fans will also help support the newly created Highlander Student-Athlete Health and Wellness fund. The fund, established as a direct result of COVID-19, will help fund initiatives that support the student-athletes overall well-being. Some of the things that are supported by the program are COVID-19 testing, fueling stations for pre and post-practice, and sport psychology programs.

"COVID-19 has presented a whole new set of challenges which hinder student-athletes from competing. The Highlander Health and Wellness fund plays an important part in our ability to ensure that they are in a safe environment to compete both physically and emotionally," continued Kaplan. "Every athlete wants to compete in front of fans. Through the fan cut out program, our athletes have the ability to look around the area and remember that they have support."
