The EAST-COMM Executive Board joins the athletic communications world in expressing their sorrow of the passing of long-time York College Director of Athletic Communications, Scott Guise.
 
 
Guise passed away on Wednesday, December 3rd after a lengthy battle with cancer.

"I want to express my heartfelt condolences and that of the entire East Comm membership to the Guise family on Scott's passing," said current EAST-COMM President Megan O'Brien. "Watching the tributes pour in on social shows you how many people's lives, both in the athletic communications world and former student-athletes, Scott managed to touch. He cared deeply about the people around him and all of us are better for having had him in our lives."
 
 

"As someone who became an athletic communications professional thanks to working for Scott, I considered him a mentor and a friend," O'Brien added. Thanks for setting the bar on how to do the job right high Scott. We will strive to follow the path you laid out moving forward."
