Dear Colleagues,

Homecoming Week is one of WKU’s most cherished traditions, and this Friday, November 13, we’ll celebrate our Hilltopper spirit as Big Red’s World Tour makes its way home to the Hill!

The annual Homecoming Parade will begin at 4:30 p.m., starting at the top of the Hill in front of Cherry Hall and proceeding down College Street to Fountain Square Park in downtown Bowling Green for Big Red’s Roar!

To help ensure a smooth transition for parade staging and community festivities:

• Beginning at 2:30 p.m., supervisors are encouraged to allow offices to operate with minimal staffing. Employees who choose to leave early to avoid traffic or attend the parade may do so without using vacation time.
• Classes will continue as scheduled.
• Parking and Transportation Services has shared detailed information about road and lot closures. Please review the Homecoming Parade Map for Road and Lot Closures and plan ahead for parking and travel.

This year’s parade and pep rally will showcase the best of the WKU spirit — our students, alumni, faculty, staff, and community coming together in celebration. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to join in the festivities, cheer on our Hilltoppers, and enjoy this special time on the Hill.

Thank you for helping make Homecoming Week a memorable experience for all.

Go Tops!

Bud Fischer
