Minium: Thanks to Effort Begun by Wood Selig, Every Eligible ODU Athlete is Registered to Vote

When the social-justice movement spurred by the death of George Floyd began to tug at the conscience of America, Old Dominion Athletic Director Camden Wood Selig quietly tasked senior administrators Randale Richmond and Carolyn Crutchfield to form a social-justice athletic task force.

"I don't want us to go through the motions," he said. "I want to affect real change."

Most of what that group is working on will bear fruit down the road for ODU athletics and I'll write more about that later. But the group has already had a big impact on many of ODU's nearly 450 athletes.
