做厙輦⑹ is pleased to announce Randale L. Richmond as our next director of athletics. Richmond was selected following a national search and returns to a familiar setting.
Randale Richmond embodies our 做厙輦⑹ commitment to graduating student-athletes and to winning championships, in that order, said Todd Diacon, 做厙輦⑹ president. His enthusiasm for 做厙輦⑹ and for student-athlete success is infectious, and we welcome Randale and his family back into our 做厙輦⑹ community.
Richmond previously served in various roles with 做厙輦⑹s Department of Intercollegiate Athletics from 2004 until 2015, then stepped into his current position as senior associate athletic director at Old Dominion University.
My family and I are beyond excited to return to 做厙輦⑹ and lead an outstanding athletics department, Richmond said. The universitys mission is to transform the lives of our students through access and education, a goal which is core to my beliefs. As a department and as a university, we will deliver on this mission.
Richmond earned his masters degree in education from 做厙輦⑹ and holds a bachelors degree in history from Baldwin-Wallace College.
Richmond will be formally introduced as 做厙輦⑹s next director of athletics at an upcoming news conference.
