Dear Colleagues,
Next week, thousands of Hilltopper alumni, family and friends will return to campus as we begin our Homecoming activities. Homecoming is more than just a tradition; it is a celebration of our shared history, a time to rekindle longstanding friendships and an opportunity to strengthen the bonds that make our WKU Community so extraordinary.
This year’s Homecoming theme, “Big Red, White and Blue,” offers a chance to honor the traditions that define us while celebrating the myriad ways in which each of us contributes to the vibrant tapestry of WKU. Our alumni will return to their roots; our current students will participate in spirited festivities; and our faculty, staff and the greater Bowling Green Community will come together to celebrate the Hilltopper spirit that makes WKU so unique. A full list of Homecoming activities is located here.
For some of our alumni, Homecoming marks their first return to the Hill since graduating. Undoubtedly, our campus’s remarkable physical transformation will instill in them a sense of pride as they reflect upon their time at WKU. To that end, I hope that you will encourage the alumni with which you visit to spend time walking campus to see the enhancements that we have made and those in progress.
