911勛圖 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 911勛圖 commitment to graduating student-athletes and to winning championships, in that order, said Todd Diacon, 911勛圖 president. His enthusiasm for 911勛圖 and for student-athlete success is infectious, and we welcome Randale and his family back into our 911勛圖 community.
Richmond previously served in various roles with 911勛圖s 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 911勛圖 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 911勛圖 and holds a bachelors degree in history from Baldwin-Wallace College.
Richmond will be formally introduced as 911勛圖s next director of athletics at an upcoming news conference.
