MONARCH ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT: VICE ADMIRAL DION ENGLISH ’00

🇺🇸 A Legacy of Leadership. A Lifetime of Service.

Meet ODU alumnus Vice Admiral Dion English ’00, whose distinguished U.S. Navy career reflects a commitment to leadership, strategic thinking, and service to our nation.

As Director for Logistics (J-4) on the Joint Staff, Vice Admiral English helped support military readiness and the logistical capabilities essential to joint military operations.

In August 2026, he retired from the U.S. Navy, marking an important milestone following a career dedicated to serving our country.

Today, we celebrate his accomplishments, his service, and the impact of Monarchs who lead and make a difference far beyond campus.

Congratulations, Vice Admiral English, on your retirement, and thank you for your service!

Once a Monarch, Always a Monarch!

Courtney Burno ‘26 always knew that it was possible to earn her bachelor’s degree, and she didn’t let interruptions stop her from making it happen. Cross-country moves, changing her major, and even conflicts with her kids’ school schedule may have slowed her down, but it didn’t diminish her resolve to finish.

At ODUGlobal, she found a flexible start date and an online format that made it possible to finish her bachelor’s degree. But she won’t stop there. Courtney starts working toward her non-profit career this fall in a master’s program through ODUGlobal.

Read about her years-long journey from starting community college to finishing her degree at the link in our bio!

THE MONARCH SPIRIT NEVER QUITS.

When life changed the game, ODU alumnus Jeff Belcher found a new way to play.

A former Old Dominion University Division I tennis player, Jeff overcame a life-threatening illness that cost him both legs below the knees and most of his fingers. Today, he’s back on the court, running 5Ks with prosthetic blades, serving as a national ambassador for Amputee Blade Runners, and pursuing his next goal in Para-Standing Tennis.

His journey is a powerful testament to the resilience, determination and never-quit spirit of a Monarch.

💙“When the rules change, you don’t quit the game. You find a new way to play it.”
