WKU returns home

The Hilltoppers returned home from the NCAA Tournament Sunday after a last second heartbreaking loss to Gonzaga in Portland. Despite the early exit, dozens of fans turned out at the BG/WC Regional Airport to welcome them back.

Gov. Beshear visit

Kentucky governor Steve Beshear stopped by campus today to help announce the new WKU Energy Policy regarding the conservation of electricity and other utilities on the Hill. We are hoping to set the standard for the state energy sustainability efforts… this year we have already saved more than 2,300,000 kWh over last year!

TAIKOPROJECT

WKU hosted the Japanese drumming group TAIKOPROJECT this week and they gave a fantastic performance last night at the Capitol Arts Center. The group, from Los Angeles, has also been seen recently on the Academy Awards show, drumming the music for Slumdog Millionaire.

TAIKOPROJECT visited through WKU’s Cultural Enhancement Series and the Campus Activities Board.

Tops to the Big Dance

The Hilltoppers won the Sun Belt Tournament last week to guarantee them a spot in the NCAA Tournament… and we will be facing Illinois (again) in the first round in Portland, Oregon, tomorrow. The team had a huge Sunday Selection party at Diddle and flew out yesterday amid much fanfare.

If we make it to the Sweet 16, I might be able to shoot the game! Keep your fingers crossed!
