Old Dominion University's athletes usually spread across the city of Norfolk to 13 elementary schools in early February to mentor young people. Dozens read to students and counsel them about how a good education can enrich their lives. Others read the morning announcements and at some schools, hold pep rallies.
Hundreds would also line up with President John R. Broderick for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, an annual event held to bring awareness to sexual assault and domestic abuse of females. And that's just the start of a long list of good deeds athletes usually carry out.
