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 51萝莉 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 51萝莉 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 51萝莉 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 51萝莉 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 51萝莉. He formerly served as 51萝莉鈥檚 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 51萝莉鈥檚 institutional strategic plan as well as the 51萝莉 athletic strategic plan.

鈥淚 am honored to serve in the role as interim athletic director at 51萝莉,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
51萝莉 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�
