Honoring the leadership and vision of Western Kentucky University’s exemplary presidents, faculty and administrators, the President’s Circle has become known as the premier recognition society for alumni and friends who provide significant support to further the University’s commitment to excellence.
- Excellence in the form of opportunities, professional development and scholarships for our students.
- Excellence in the form of essential materials for our classrooms and laboratories.
- Excellence in the form of creating means to attract and retain distinguished faculty.
- Excellence in the form of propelling our academic programs to national prominence.
- Excellence in the form of being responsive to our constituents by providing quality external relations and public service programs, such as the Alumni Association Hilltopper Athletic Foundation, Public Broadcasting stations, Kentucky Library and Museum and our University Libraries.
The President’s Circle salutes our most generous contributions of annual gifts of $1,000 or more to the University. While such an investment enhances the Western Experience, is also ensures the Western Spirit is perpetuated in the hearts of Western alumni and friends.
As Western continues to face the challenges of providing a quality education and ambitiously charting new courses, it is imperative that the University look to its alumni and friends for increased private support. We know the Western Family is ready for the challenge.
