Western Kentucky University


The "first" part of my education was completed at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green.  WKU is a medium sized univeristy of about 16,000 students. I was a history and psychology major at WKU, and graduated in the Spring of 1995.

Western is sited on a hill just outside of downtown Bowling Green. The steeple of the main building, Cherry Hall (see image below) stands above the treeline at the top of the hill. Hence, the nickname of WKU students and their athletic teams: Hilltoppers.

Some images from the WKU campus:
