The Morgan State University Department is proud to once again partner with SIDEARM Sports to unveil the latest redesign of its athletics website, MorganStateBears.com, which was re-launched Monday morning. The new site reaffirms the department's commitment to providing Morgan State fans with a top-of-the-line place to find all the latest news and information for all of the Bears' 15 varsity programs.

 "We are very excited in providing this new look to all of the Bear Nation," Director of Athletics Edward Scott said. "We believe the new look will enhance the experience for all fans as well as give our programs a lift in recruiting. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with SIDEARM Sports and look forward to the years to come."
 
"We realize that for many people the first point of contact with Morgan State is our website. And therefore we wanted to put our best foot forward."

The redesign reinforces Morgan State's continued partnership with SIDEARM Sports, an innovative company that powers the websites of more than 750 colleges, universities, athletic conferences and high schools throughout North America. Morgan State has been a client of the company since its early days, as morganstatebears.com was just the fourth site designed and launched by SIDEARM Sports in 2003.

"It's truly an exciting time for our athletic department and our University, and this new website only helps to add to the excitement," said Leonard Haynes IV, director of athletics communications. "An exhaustive amount of work has taken place behind the scenes to prepare for the April 3rd re-launch date."

The newly redesigned morganstatebears.com keeps all of your favorite aspects of the previous incarnation, while also providing a fresh new look and enhanced features. The new website includes larger photos, easier navigation between pages, quick access to the department's social media outlets, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. The site will also feature a new scoreboard toward the top of the page, that will show recent scores and upcoming events for all of your favorite Morgan State teams.

As the Bears' official website provider, SIDEARM Sports gives fans of MSU a fully adaptive experience across all platforms. With the adaptive experience, fans can either enjoy a version of morganstatebears.com specifically tailored to their mobile device or opt to view the full site.
 
"We're in debt to all of the programmers at SIDEARM who have made this transition a smooth one," added Haynes. "We especially have to thank Tina Bowman, who served as our main point of contact on the redesign of the site, for her patience with us along the way."

"SIDEARM Sports hope the supporters, alumni, fans, student-athletes and staff of Morgan State enjoy their new athletic website," said Jeff Rubin, President/CEO of SIDEARM Sports. "Morgan State has been a partner of ours since 2003.  We appreciate them taking a chance on a new company, and are excited to continue this partnership 14 years later."

"The new morganstatebears.com site will give Bears followers a visually appealing, easy-to-use site that provides every bit of information that a Morgan State supporter is looking for. The responsive layout and design scales to fit the user device on desktop, tablet and mobile so fans will be able to access information easily on the go. A longtime partner, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to continue to work Morgan State University."
