UC alum visits campus to teach students about footwear design
“Our motto for DAAPcamps is ‘Create What Will Be!’ and with the help of amazing partners like Charley Hudak, we are able to do just that every year,” says Wilson.
A story on the UC website goes into detail about Hudak’s early beginnings and career trajectory to creative director at Sun Day Red, an offshoot of TaylorMade Golf Industry.
“I’m super humbled by the opportunity (at Sun Day Red) and part of it is coming back here and sharing my experience,” with these students, Hudak said in an interview.
As for working with Tiger Woods, which Hudak does often, he said: “I think in my heart of hearts, Tiger Woods is the most significant athlete to walk the planet” because he changed the golf landscape perception "from country clubs and the like" to a place of inclusion. "He's just a really dynamic figure."
Media coverage of Hudak included interviews by Cincinnati stations WCPO, WXIX and WKRC and The Cincinnati Enquirer.
