Johnson & Wales will exit the GNAC for the CCC as early as 2024-25. CCC Commissioner Kaye: "While the broad-based athletics program at JWU has long been among the most competitive and successful programs in the New England region, the institutional mission to provide students with an exceptional education that inspires professional success and lifelong personal and intellectual growth is completely compatible with the philosophy embraced by the CCC and our member institutions. Athletics within Division III and the CCC play important roles in enhancing and supporting the academic pursuits, goals and dreams of every student-athlete. JWU's institutional and athletic leadership, stellar athletic facilities and a committed group of coaches and staff support and embody the mission of the university. The CCC will be stronger with Johnson and Wales University as a member, and JWU will be stronger because of the university's CCC membership." (link)
