Per the Old Dominion University website, after an impressive career, Carol Hudson, Assistant Athletic Communications Director and Sports Information Director, will retire in June of this year. Hudson’s career at Old Dominion University has spanned an amazing 40-years and impacted the Athletic Department in a way that will not be forgotten. He began as a student manager for Monarch baseball and basketball, served as the primary media contact for a variety of sports including men’s basketball and men’s soccer and has been the SID at ODU since 1984! For all of his hard work over the years, Hudson has received various awards and honors including being named to the College Sports Information Directors of America Hall of Fame.

During my time as a Sports Information Student Representative for the ODU Athletic Department, I had the pleasure of learning from and working with Carol Hudson. From assisting him keep the scoreboard at baseball games to running stats for copy during a basketball game, Hudson was always there to provide wisdom and encouragement.

Happy Retirement Carol!
