Dear Hilltopper Family,
As another exciting academic year at WKU is underway, I want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible sense of community that differentiates our university – the Hilltopper Family. Our collective spirit, unwavering support and shared pride make our university a truly special place.
Cheering on our students remains among our most cherished traditions. From athletic competition to theater, dance and forensics, our Hilltoppers give their all. Just last week, I had the pleasure of celebrating with our Big Red Marching Band as they received a formal invitation to participate in the 2025 London New Year’s Day Parade. This is a significant honor, credited to their hard work and success, and I hope you join me in cheering for them as they showcase the WKU Spirit abroad.
Regardless of our students’ interest, when we show up and rally behind them, it demonstrates that their dedication does not go unnoticed. Your presence and enthusiasm motivate our students to Climb to Greater Heights.
As a reminder, this year’s football schedule features two home weeknight contests. Let’s show our support and demonstrate that the Hilltopper Spirit knows no bounds, even on a weeknight. This Thursday, we take on Middle Tennessee State University at 6:30 p.m.
