"I am leaving a special place in Coastal Carolina University. Coastal has provided me a wealth of fond memories and friendships that I will cherish forever," says Stewart.

"As I join the Old Dominion University family and Hampton Roads community, I am excited about the challenges and opportunities that are on the horizon", adds Stewart. I am truly honored and privileged to be a part of such a distinguished institution of higher education, and an Athletics Department with such a rich tradition of excellence. It is a great time to be a Monarch!

He holds an undergraduate degree from Morehouse College in psychology, and a Master of Arts in sports management and a Juris Doctor in law from The Ohio State University.
