Black History Month Honoree: Martina Ballen
Posted Feb 28, 2017
When she was a student at Carolina, Martina Ballen would spend Saturdays in the fall in the old Kenan Stadium field house. As a 'Sweet Caroline,' she helped in the recruiting of football players like Kelvin Bryant. In 1987, Ballen walked back into the Kenan field house. Only this time, she stepped into her new office as the chief financial officer for Carolina Athletics.
