Faces of ODU
ODU is the stepping stone into my future career. ODU’s organizations, events and faculty have helped me feel confident that I will succeed in my career after college.

Just because I’m not on campus doesn’t mean I can’t be involved. … As I always say, I am on a mission to bring people together, and my time at ODU has allowed for me to do just that.
Brandon K. Hedgepeth
Lifespan and Digital Communications
At ODU, learning doesn’t just take place in the classroom. It happens behind the camera, on stage, in the production room, or anywhere your major takes you. … I finally have 'my thing'.

ODU has given me the chance to feel at home, despite being over 2,000 miles away. ODU’s diversity and commitment to assisting student veterans has allowed me to continue pursuing a medical education and career.
