91�㽶��Ƶ University 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 91�㽶��Ƶ commitment to graduating student-athletes and to winning championships, in that order,” said Todd Diacon, 91�㽶��Ƶ president. “His enthusiasm for 91�㽶��Ƶ and for student-athlete success is infectious, and we welcome Randale and his family back into our 91�㽶��Ƶ community.”

Richmond previously served in various roles with 91�㽶��Ƶ’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 91�㽶��Ƶ and lead an outstanding athletics department,” Richmond said. “The university’s 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 master’s degree in education from 91�㽶��Ƶ and holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Baldwin-Wallace College.

Richmond will be formally introduced as 91�㽶��Ƶ’s next director of athletics at an upcoming news conference.
