ODU NAMED ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK IN HAMPTON ROADS

Old Dominion University was named one of the Top 25 Places to Work in Hampton Roads by Inside Business newspaper in its May 19 edition.

The survey, in which Old Dominion placed number 24, writers noted that employees have "all the perks of college life -- computer labs, physical fitness facilities, exercise classes, pools, tennis courts and a library." The piece also recognized the university for its more than 10 landscaped "quiet spots" around campus, it outstanding daycare options, and the many name-brand eateries in Webb Center.

The university's high participation in a variety of community service projects also played a big role in its selection as a great place to work.
