Painted Pride
It could be said that Kennesaw State senior Caleb Norman wears his school spirit on his sleeve – except that he doesn’t actually wear sleeves during football games at Fifth Third Bank Stadium. Instead, Norman shows his Owl pride on his bare arms. And his chest. And face. Prior to last season, Norman founded The Owls Nest, an organization of KSU students who support the football team loudly and proudly at each home game. Standing and cheering the entire time, the dedicated fans are easy to spot – especially the dozen or more of them whose faces and bodies are coated with black and gold paint. – October 01, 2018

A Passion for Advising
Even while playing in the NFL as a defensive tackle for the Atlanta Falcons and the Kansas City Chiefs, Tommy Jackson knew that he wouldn’t play the game forever. “Football was a means to get where I wanted to be. It was an educational opportunity. But at first, I didn’t think I was going to college, I thought I was going into the military,” said Jackson, now the Director of University College Advising Services at Kennesaw State University. But while at Auburn as a student-athlete, college football did show Jackson a potential path for his future. The football team’s academic counselor made an impression on Jackson and showed him a path where he could use his passion for helping others. – September 27, 2018
