On March 24-27, 2016, Brandeis University's Gosman Athletic Center will play host to the best collegiate fencers at the NCAA National Collegiate Fencing Championships.

Brandeis University was announced as the host of the Championships in December of 2013.

This will be the fourth time in school history that Brandeis will play host to the ultimate event in collegiate fencing. The Judges previously hosted in 1994, 1999 and 2004. The Judges have produced All-Americans in two of those three years, and had the best team placement in school history in 1999, when they finished 12th.

Brandeis is one of only a handful of Division III institutions to have hosted this event. The next two hosts, as announced in 2013, will be Notre Dame and Penn State.
