Bowling Green, Ky. - Western Kentucky University will confer degrees to 906 students at its 152nd Commencement this month.

About 650 students are expected to participate in the ceremony at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 in E.A. Diddle Arena, according to Registrar Freida Eggleton. The University will confer 664 baccalaureate degrees, 145 master's degrees, 90 associate degrees and seven cooperative doctoral degrees.

WKU President Gary Ransdell will deliver commencement remarks.

The ceremony again will include a parade of flags in recognition of international graduates.

The ongoing Diddle Arena renovation project has created some changes for the ceremony, Eggleton said. For example, all those attending the ceremony will enter the arena from the new ground level entrances, and the arena's new video boards will provide opportunities for closeup views of speakers and graduates, she said.

Eggleton reminded guests that parking is limited near the arena, but that spaces are available in other nearby lots.
