Minium: President John R. Broderick Has a Special Bond with ODU Women's Tennis Team

By Harry Minium

It was August of 2016 and Holly Hutchinson was on Old Dominion University's campus for the first time, fresh off a plane from her native England, when she nearly got ploughed over by a golf cart.

It was her fault. She was taking in the sights, not paying attention to where she was walking, and saw the cart out of the corner of her eye just in time to step back.

The golf cart was being driven by ODU President John R. Broderick, she was told.

"On my gosh, I was so embarrassed," she said.
