BOBBY COX PINCH HITS FOR HOMELESS PETS
(CARTERVILLE, Ga. ) – Braves Hall of Fame Manager Bobby Cox is ‘pinch hitting for homeless pets’ Sunday,
Sept. 4 at the Clarence Brown Convention Center from 12-6 p.m. for the First Annual South Paw Fan Fest.
Bartow County currently has a euthanasia (death) rate of seven out of 10 pets due to over crowding at shelters. The
event will be held to support the Etowah Valley Humane Society in order to decrease these odds for pets. This
organization is not funded by a single tax dollar and therefore needs the help of private donors.
This event will feature one of Atlanta’s notorious baseball managers, Bobby Cox along with his wife Pam Cox.
After 25 years of managing the Braves, Cox has compiled a .557 winning record while winning five pennants and
one World Series. He ranks fourth on the all-time wins list among managers.
While at the event, there will be a lot to do including an autograph/photo session with the Cox’s. The Braves Street
Team will also be present.
A great way to help out this cause is by adopting a pet at the event where there will also be low cost vaccines
available. While you are looking for a new pet, there will be live entertainment, food, fun and so much more.
Come out and support a great local cause with one of the greatest baseball managers of all-time.
The Clarence Brown Convention Center is located at 5450 State Route 20, Cartersville, GA 30121. The Convention
Center can be reached at 770-606-5763.

KSU Delegation Visit to Kia Motors Georgia a Success
On Friday, November 4th, 2011, at West Point Georgia, Mr. Keun Sik Kim, Senior Vice President of Kia Motors
Manufacturing Georgia, Inc., hosted a visit by a delegation from Kennesaw State University (KSU), organized by
KSU’s Asian Studies Program. The delegation included 24 professors and directors from the College of Humanities
and Social Sciences (CHSS), the Coles College of Business, the Bagwell College of Education, the Institute for
Global Initiatives, the Confucius Institute and the ICA Institute.
Dr. Thierry Leger, Associate Dean of the College of Humanities & Social Sciences, accompanied by Dr. May Gao,
the Asian Studies Coordinator, led the delegation to West Point, GA, where Kia’s American automobile
manufacturing facility is located. Expanding on 2,200 acres of land, the Kia manufacturing base is equipped with
state-of-the-art robots, assembly lines, and testing equipment. Mr. Kim said the plant currently produces 59 vehicles
per hour or 300 000 vehicles per year. A $100 million upgrade will be completed in 2012 and bring the production
capacity to 68 vehicles per hour or 360 000 vehicles per year with three shifts of workers operating 24 hours per
day. . This plant now employs 3700 workers, and most of them are Georgians.
Dr. Barry Morris, Vice Provost for Global Engagement & Strategic Initiatives anticipates a long-term partnership
with Kia that will create privileged study abroad, internship and scholarship opportunities for KSU students with an
interest in Asian Studies.
"It was a great honor for us to be invited by Kia officials to visit their manufacturing plant. We anticipate many
Asian owned companies in the U.S., such as Kia to provide support for our Asian Studies program as we educate
KSU students to be more globally competitive, especially with regard to knowledge about Asia," said Dr. Gao. Dr.
Heeman Kim, an Affiliated Asian Studies faculty at KSU, initiated this visit. Dr. Kim was born and raised in Korea
and has strong connection with the Korean American community here. For more information about KSU’s Asian
Studies Program, please visit: http://asianstudies.hss.kennesaw.edu/ For more information about Kia plant in
Georgia, please visit: http://www.kmmgusa.com/
Reported by Mr. Montye Edwards, a graduate student in the MA in Integrated Global Communication program at
KSU who visited the Kia plant with the delegation.
