ABOUT Roderick

With a strong focus on athletics throughout his career, Roderick has always been involved in either athletics or education. He found his calling in administration athletics, where he has the opportunity to educate and mentor student-athletes—something he has a strong passion for. 

A Life in Athletics

As a person that played sports growing up, Roderick was always curious as to what happens on the opposite side of competition. His blood, sweat, and tears throughout the years have been to position himselt to give that back to the next generation of student athletes.

“It actually helps me now that I'm on the administration side of athletics, building those student relationships that help them grow on a daily basis.

How Alabama A&M uses Hometown

Transitioning to the Hometown has allowed Alabama A&M to modernize and streamline their processes. Aside from athletic events, they also use Hometown for student body events, comedy shows, and concerts. Hometown allows students to be more self-sufficient, giving them an easy and efficient way to engage with campus events.

“Hometown provides us with simple and effective solutions to both everyday challenges and complex problems, and helps us keep everything running smoothly.”
