Athletic Department Staff Directory
Dr. Morris Kurtz
Director of Athletics
Dr. Morris Kurtz arrived at St. Cloud State in the fall of 1984 following athletic administrative positions at both Penn State University and Memphis State University. At SCSU he served as Director of Men’s Athletics from 1984 to 1995 and as Director of Athletics of the combined men’s and women’s intercollegiate athletics since 1996.
One of Dr. Kurtz’s most significant achievements has been to enhance the department’s fundraising program utilizing innovative solicitation techniques, marketing, promotional strategies and increased community involvement and support.
The community support that has developed has been overwhelming. Under Dr. Kurtz’s direction, the Athletic Department has experienced tremendous growth and in doing so has become a rallying point for SCSU faculty, staff, students, alumni, the city of St. Cloud, as well as the surrounding communities throughout Central Minnesota. The Husky Athletic Program has become nationally recognized and has established itself as a competitive force in intercollegiate athletics while producing the highest caliber of student-athletes.
Dr. Kurtz, his wife Janell Kurtz, a Professor in the G.R. Herberger College of Business, reside in St. Cloud and have a son David, and daughter Stacey,
