This week Synovus announced its partnership as the title sponsor for the ballpark – Synovus Park – that will be the new home for the Atlanta Braves AA team in Columbus in 2025. Synovus Chairman, CEO and President, Kevin Blair, made the announcement in front of local business leaders and media. "I’m excited about [this] new milestone for Synovus . . .

The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s
