Bowling Green, Ky. - As part of an initiative to bring degree programs to the Logan County adult workforce, Western Kentucky University will be offering a series of free informational and college preparatory workshops.

The Higher Ed Opportunity Workshop (HOW) is sponsored by a partnership of local agencies including Logan County Adult Education and Workforce Development and Educational Opportunity Centers, the Bowling Green Community College and the WKU Division of Extended Learning and Outreach (DELO). Funding is provided by WKU Provost’s Initiatives for Excellence.

The workshops will be held at the Logan County Adult Learning Center, located in the Baptist Building at 198 W. Third St. in Russellville. The series kicks off at 6 p.m. May 18 and will continue each Thursday night for four weeks.

The sessions will demystify college processes and terminology, offer tips for developing good study skills, and provide hands on assistance with financial aid and admissions forms. Math and English refresher sessions will also be offered. Any adult who might be interested in continuing their education is encouraged to attend. There is no obligation to enroll at WKU.
