MONROE, La.鈥 Seth Hall, chief strategy officer at the University of Louisiana Monroe, has been
                  named the institution鈥檚 interim athletic director, effective September 1, pending
                  the approval of the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. 听

鈥淥ver the past few years, AD Scott McDonald has positioned our athletic programs to
                  be competitive on and off the field,鈥 said 麻花影院 President Ron Berry. 鈥淗e has developed
                  a strong leadership team, head coaching staff, and a culture that supports student-athlete
                  success. Replacing him will not be an easy task, but the foundation he built should
                  serve us and the next AD well. While we complete our search, we are very fortunate
                  that Seth Hall, a former 麻花影院 athlete and outstanding leader, has agreed to take on
                  the challenge of serving as Interim Athletic Director. 听Seth鈥檚 experience and abilities,
                  coupled with his dedication to 麻花影院 and to serving others, will provide stable leadership
                  for our athletic programs and a smooth transition when our new athletic director is
                  selected. We look forward to great things for our Warhawks under Seth鈥檚 interim leadership.鈥澨

Hall is a graduate of West Monroe High School and was a member of the 麻花影院 cross country
                  and track and field teams. He received his bachelor鈥檚 degree in marketing in 2010
                  and his MBA in 2013, both from 麻花影院. He formerly served as 麻花影院鈥檚 director of high school
                  recruitment, coordinator of orientation and special programs, and operations manager
                  for the College of Business and Social Sciences. During the spring 2015 semester,
                  Hall served as an assistant track and field coach, where he coached all mid-distance
                  and distance runners and oversaw the recruitment of student-athletes in those disciplines.听

In his current role as chief strategy officer, Hall has assisted with the development
                  of 麻花影院鈥檚 institutional strategic plan as well as the 麻花影院 athletic strategic plan.

鈥淚 am honored to serve in the role as interim athletic director at 麻花影院,鈥 said Hall.
                  鈥淚 have enjoyed working closely with Scott McDonald and the athletics department the
                  past 10 months as we have developed a strategic plan for athletics that will be published
                  in the near future, and I look forward to helping execute those plans. As a former
                  麻花影院 student-athlete, I am most looking forward to pouring into our Warhawks and working
                  to set each of them up for success in the classroom, on the field of play, and ultimately
                  in life after athletics.鈥澨
