Since his selection as president of Radford University five years ago, Brian Hemphill has fulfilled the mission he set when he was hired: to increase fundraising and open channels to boost enrollment.
During Hemphill’s tenure, he has seen the university reach record enrollment numbers and grow its endowment by $20 million. But all things must come to an end — or at least be passed on to a successor.
In February, Hemphill announced that he will be leaving in June to become the ninth president of Old Dominion University in Norfolk. He will succeed John Broderick, who is retiring after 13 years at ODU’s helm.
