Ursinus Launches New Athletics Website

Ursinus Launches New Athletics Website

We are pleased to present the brand-new online home of Ursinus College Athletics!

The new ursinusathletics.com combines the expertise of both our staff and the professionals at Presto Sports. During the process, we sent a detailed survey to hundreds of current and prospective student-athletes, their parents, and athletics staff to form a more clear picture of the pages and features our mobile and web visitors are most interested in, and that feedback informed every design decision. With usability and accessibility in mind, the new site was intentionally designed to provide a bold, intuitive web presence and to highlight a variety of elements that will provide prospective and current student-athletes, parents, and Bears fans everywhere with a clean, aesthetically pleasing, and easily navigable experience. Some of the most significant changes include:

  • Full-width photos. Designed to highlight the quality of our photography, images on the homepage slider now cover the full width of the page.
  • A new schedule bar displays the day's athletic contests with crisp team logos as well as links to both pre- and post-game information such as box scores, recaps, live stats, and live video.
  • A new rotating graphic with quotes from our student-athletes about why they chose Ursinus. This element features institutional branding and highlights the many reasons our student-athletes chose to attend Ursinus.
  • An expanded social media ticker shows real-time content from all three of our primary social channels
  • A new "important links" section provides one-click access to some of the most trafficked pages on our site. Links to admissions, the official Bears store, facilities, camps and clinics, donations, and live streaming are all easily located.
