Welcome to the WKU Centennial website!

The year 2006 is a very special one for Hilltoppers everywhere. One hundred years ago, the Commonwealth of Kentucky established Western Kentucky State Normal School, and Henry Hardin Cherry became the first president of the new school. Throughout 2006, you will be hearing a great deal about our Centennial as we recognize and celebrate the many people and events that have made this university the great place it is.

The website is an important part of our celebration. It will make available lots of information about our Centennial plans and also provide special features that will give you some glimpses of WKU’s past. We hope it will keep you informed about our plans, and we also hope it will provide a link to the celebration for members of the Western family who won’t be able to return to the Hill during our Centennial year.

So visit our site frequently. And when you do, please take a few minutes to click on the Memories section and reminisce with us about your time at WKU!

Sincerely,
President Gary Ransdell
