Scott Morse is in his 13th year at Lafayette and fifth in a dual role as director of athletic communications and promotions and executive director of the Maroon Club.

Morse arrived at Lafayette in July of 1995 and worked for four years as the assistant director of athletics for media relations. Morse is responsible for overseeing all athletically related external communications at Lafayette, including the direct oversight of the athletic communications and sports information areas, handling all marketing and promotional efforts, the daily operations of the Lafayette Sports Network, and all Maroon Club activities.

Under Morse's guidance, the Lafayette Sports Network (LSN) was created in 1997 as the primary marketing and promotional arm for Lafayette's athletic programs. For the 11th straight year it will lead the Patriot League and most of the nation with a distribution of approximately 10 million viewers. While the main emphasis lies with television production, distribution and advertising sales, LSN also encompasses all of the stadium and arena signage, weekly radio shows, game programs, hospitality areas and game-day promotional events.

Morse created and serves as one of the advisors to the Lafayette Sports Marketing Club, an organization that was honored for its efforts in the 2002 Block pARTy with one of Lafayette's prestigious Aaron O. Hoff Awards as the Program of the Year.

Morse arrived at Lafayette following four years of service in the department of athletics at Wagner College. He was Wagner's sports information director from 1991-92 and was promoted to assistant director of athletics for media relations, business operations and club sports in 1993.

Prior to arriving at Wagner, Morse served as an assistant in Lehigh's sports information office for one year, and as the student assistant to both the director of athletics and the sports information and promotions director for two years at Slippery Rock University.

A 1990 graduate of Slippery Rock with a bachelor of science degree in sports management, Morse is pursuing a master of business administration degree in marketing.

Morse has volunteered at several national sporting events on the media relations side, working the 2000 U.S. Senior Open, the 1996 NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four, and the 1993 and 1995 NCAA Men's Basketball East Regional. He also served as the director of media operations for the 1991 Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association Tournament.

He and his wife, Anne Bennett-Morse of Easton, reside in Forks Township with their three children, London, Z.J. and Addison.
