Kennesaw State Athletics announced in August that the Athletic Department signed an agreement with Ed Voyles Automotive to make the company the official car dealership of the KSU Owls.
Athletic Director Milton Overton said the new partnership will help fund 25 scholarships within the department over the next five years. The Athletic Department announced that the partnership will last through the 2022-23 athletic season.
“We want to thank Trustee Valery Voyles and the Ed Voyles family for this tremendous opportunity to partner with the Ed Voyles Automotive Group, Inc.,” Overton said.
Ed Voyles also recently partnered with KSU Athletics to create Owl Rewards, a fan loyalty app designed to reward KSU students, faculty, staff and alumni for supporting KSU student-athletes.
The department announced the release of the app on Sept. 10. KSU community members can now earn reward points for attending sporting events, special athletic events or by visiting the teams’ sponsors. Students can then use their reward points to earn free prizes.
“This unique app will enhance our gameday experience, enhance sponsor activations and improve attendance at athletic events,” Overton said.
Rewards available to those that use the new app include officially licensed Adidas gear, authentic game-worn jerseys, food discounts, cash prizes, guest coach opportunities, exclusive KSU Athletics experiences and more. The KSU Owls posted on Twitter encouraging students to learn more about the app by visiting ksuowls.com/owlrewards.
The Athletic Department announced that the new partnership will also have a “visual impact” at KSU athletic venues with new Ed Voyles signage in the Fifth Third Bank Stadium and inside of the KSU Convocation Center.
“We are excited about our Partnership with Kennesaw State University as it continues to reinforce our culture of supporting education and being a positive force in the communities where we live and work,” said Ed Voyles Automotive President and Chief Operating Officer Bill Brantley.
