Shawnee State Athletics has launched a pair of new and revamped ways to access each of our sponsored sports across athletics, as SSU Athletics has launched a revamped look to the website and a brand new mobile app that can be accessed through a new partnership with SIDEARM Sports.
The revamped
www.ssubears.com website, which officially launched July 8, aligns SSU with each of the 11 additional members that the Bears will be joining in the Mountain East Conference, where all programs now run on the SIDEARM platform. The refreshed site offers an improved user experience, cleaner design, and better access to news, schedules, stats, and team updates.
One of the larger additions to the website is an interactive display, which is now embedded into the website through an existing partnership that SIDEARM and Rocket Alumni Solutions, the company that presently powers Shawnee State's interactive display, have. That can be viewed atÂ
