Bowling Green, Ky. -Western Kentucky University’s award-winning photojournalism program is helping make the Centennial celebration a little more visual.

About 50 students and faculty will be photographing 100 hours in the life of WKU this week. Starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday (Sept. 13) and ending at noon Sunday (Sept. 17), students and faculty will be blanketing the campus and community for photographs documenting the students, faculty and staff and their lives.

The participants are volunteering their time to cover events like WKU’s home football game, Greek events, dorm life and classroom activities. They will be covering every hour of the 100-hour period starting this Wednesday. Participants will also be photographing the campus architecture, construction and the historical significance of the campus on its 100th birthday.

“We feel privileged that we were asked by David Lee to contribute to the Centennial project,” said Photojournalism Coordinator James Kenney, “and this was the best way we knew how -- through our photographs.”

The project will be posted on WKU’s Centennial website by Homecoming weekend.         -
