Human Touch: Jeff Dugdale of Queens University of Charlotte Athletics

Expand Menu

Jeff Dugdale is the Associate Athletic Director and Aquatics Director for Queens University of Charlotte. In his 12 years coaching the men's and women's swimming programs at Queens, Jeff has been a part of 12 NCAA Championship titles - 6 for men's and 6 for women's - including this year's 2021 championship. In that same time, he has been a Seven-Time CSCAA Coach of the Year, 11-Time Bluegrass Mountain Conference Coach of the Year, and the 2019 Jimi Flowers Coach of the Year. And he coached four Queens athletes who participated in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. But for Jeff, his role in the Queens athletic department is about more than training students to be the best athletes they can be, it's also about teaching them how to be the best leaders possible - in and out of the pool. When he joined us on the Human Touch, he shared his thoughts on coaching, leadership, and the role mental health plays in athletics.

When Camp North End first opened its factories in 1924, innovation was at the core of everything. Over the decades, the space has been used to build Model-Ts for the Ford Motor Company, to support American soldiers in World War II, and to manufacture missiles during the Cold War. Now, nearly 100 years later, things look a little different at Camp North End but that spirit of innovation remains. Over the past few years, Camp North End has blossomed into a hub for artists, chefs, and entrepreneurs to work, play, and continue to innovate their craft. Camp North End creates a welcoming space for creativity and community in Charlotte with shops, restaurants, murals, and events designed for all people. When Varian Shrum, the Community Manager of Camp North End, joins us on the Human Touch, we will discuss the past, present, and future of Camp North End.
