You’ve made a great choice to broaden your life experiences and climb with us at Western Kentucky University. YOU are now a Hilltopper, we are YOUR family, and this Hill is YOUR home! WKU’s mission is simple — to advance our city, our commonwealth and our world by inspiring innovation, elevating communities, and transforming lives. The WKU Experience will prepare you to achieve personal success and equip you to advance the communities you settle into. We will challenge you, help you find your strengths and celebrate your achievements. As an applied research university, WKU faculty engage in public service and research with practical applications. They work with communities, business, and industry to solve real-world problems. Best of all, we integrate students into the discovery process so you have the opportunity to gain valuable experiences both in and out of the classroom, providing you with skills needed for success after graduation. And because of our size and focus on students, our faculty will know your name, take a personal interest in your accomplishments and support you through graduation. We are here, ready to guide you during this important chapter in your life. Get acquainted with Bowling Green, Kentucky, one of the nation’s best college towns and the fastest growing city in the commonwealth. If you’re accustomed to a larger city atmosphere, explore a bit further to Nashville, only one hour south. As the second largest employer in the community and the home to thousands of students, WKU serves as a major driver of the local economy. Local businesses anxiously wait to hire you, both to work while you’re a student and upon completion of your degree. The WKU campus offers significant assets as well — intimate and natural beauty, state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, modern housing options, and a variety of campus restaurants that span from the bottom of the Hill to the top. Spend time relaxing with friends at the Downing Student Union or the new Commons at Helm Library, working out at the Preston Center, enjoying musical, theater and dance productions, and cheering on our championship athletic teams. WKU is proud of its rich history and unique traditions, like Big Red, one of the nation’s most beloved and recognizable mascots, and legendary basketball coach Ed Diddle’s red towel. Our first president, Dr. Henry Hardin Cherry, coined the phrase “The Spirit Makes the Master.” While that motto is about preparing you to make a good living, more importantly, it’s also about educating and developing you to make a good life — both for yourself and for those around you. I can’t wait to personally welcome you to our campus and celebrate your achievements. See you on the Hill! GO TOPS! Timothy C. Caboni Photo by Ethan Vannatta 7 OUR TRADITIONS At WKU, we share more than a few odd traditions. From the strange critters that roam the Hill to our unique mascot and game day traditions, here are our most cherished symbols. Big Red Created in 1979, Big Red is the spirit of WKU. Because of the steep terrain on campus, students were long known as “Hilltoppers.” To embody this concept, Cincinnati senior Ralph Carey created “Big Red,” a fuzzy red blob with a big mouth and even bigger personality. Big Red is at every game shaking what he’s got. You might also find him running around campus putting things in his mouth. White Squirrel These squirrels didn’t fall in a paint bucket; they’re actually white. The white squirrels are a regional wonder that you can find all over campus. Look twice before tossing something in the trash cans too; they like to hide in there. Red Towel One of the oldest symbols on campus is the red towel. Legendary WKU basketball coach E.A. Diddle (for whom Diddle Arena is named) was known to clutch a red towel at games. According to WKU’s website, he “chewed on it, threw it, cried on it, waved it at fans and used it to signal his players.” Everyone at WKU has had a red towel bestowed upon them; you received one with your acceptance letter. Students, alumni and fans alike carry on the red towel tradition. 8 EAT BETTER, FEEL BETTER WRAPS, SANDWICHES, FLATBREADS, QUESADILLAS, SMOOTHIES HAPPY HOUR MONDAY—FridAY $1.70 OFF 7 AM—9 aM ANY SMOOTHIE WKU STUDENTS GET 10% OFF!! 1971 CAVEMILL ROAD | 270-599-0022 | FACEBOOK.COM/TROPICALSMOOTHIECAFE 9 MASTER PLAN TUESDAY, AUG 17 - SATURDAY, AUG 21 10Photo by Joeleen Hubbard MASTER Plan stands for Making Academic and Social Transitions Educationally Rewarding. Put simply, the point of MASTER Plan is to help you transition from high school and home life to college and dorm life. During this week you’ll get a chance to meet your RA, learn about residence hall policies, campus safety, and your academic program. At MASTER Plan kickoff, you’ll hear from WKU’s president and take your historic class of 2025 photo.
