Kennesaw State University Athletics

A devoted alum and supporter of Kennesaw State Athletics, Caric Martin has had a long and impactful association with KSU. That relationship with the University began well before Martin enrolled as a student in the mid-1970s. His father, Charlie, had a long tenure as an economics professor at KSU from 1968-1988. After establishing a successful professional career, Martin became a valued contributor to the athletics department as a men's basketball season ticket holder and donor in 2007. Following his father's passing, Martin, in an effort to honor his dad's memory, started the Martin-Parrish Family Athletic Scholarship for the men's basketball program, making it the first endowed athletic scholarship. His contributions and involvement in KSU Athletics place him in the top 10 of individual donors. He currently serves on the Kennesaw State University Athletic Association (KSUAA) Board, is senior vice president of Vinings Bank and co-owner of Dogwood Golf Club in Austell. Martin and his wife, Grace, have three children and eight grandchildren.
