Happy first day of spring, Hilltoppers! It finally stopped raining! We know this semester has taken an unexpected turn, but hopefully the gorgeous cherry blossoms in Centennial Mall can bring you a bit of joy! 🌸☀️

It’s a gorgeous day here on the Hill! Downing Student Union will be temporarily closed until further notice, but that’s not stopping us from enjoying the view!

Remember to practice social distancing, but get outside for some fresh air if you can! The cherry blossoms are blooming and absolutely gorgeous!

WKU will join Kentuckians across the state in ringing bells each morning at 10am to show solidarity. The Guthrie Bell Tower will begin its usual chime to the tune of God Bless America at 9am Central / 10am Eastern. #WKU #TogetherKY #TeamKentucky #HealthyAtHome

Hilltoppers, stay #HealthyAtHome and let's do our part to slow the spread. #TeamKentucky #TogetherKY

Looking toward Fall at Western Kentucky University... “We will return — in person — to our campus this fall. We don’t yet know exactly what that will look like, but we remain committed to returning to as much normalcy as possible, and providing you the full WKU experience wku.edu/caboni/videos/…

While hosting a virtual Western Kentucky University campus tour today, I snagged these photos because when else will I ever be completely alone in our stadium or arena? I look forward to the day when they’re full again. Until then, wear your mask, wash your hands, and GO TOPS.
