Incredibly grateful for the brave men and women who have defended our freedom while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
This Veterans Day, I am honored to commemorate their valor and selflessness alongside WKU Army ROTC cadets, veterans, military families and the WKU community.
To all who served our country in the U.S. Armed Forces, we thank you for your service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸
This morning, students, faculty, staff and community members gathered at the Guthrie Bell Tower for WKU's annual Veterans Day ceremony to honor the service of veterans and recognize the impact they've made on our country and communities.
Named for Sgt. 1st Class Robert Guthrie, who perished in the Korean War, the Guthrie Bell Tower and plaza celebrates the freedom we share as American citizens and serves as a tribute to the men and women who sacrificed their lives to make that possible.

Thrilled to gather with campus and community members as we break ground on Phase 1 of Elevate WKU.
Today marks the beginning of construction on a state-of-the-art residence hall at our Southern Gateway and also symbolizes a new chapter in residential life at WKU!
Western Kentucky University broke ground today on The Southern Gateway, the first phase of Elevate WKU, a multi-year initiative to transform student housing and create modern, student-centered living environments across the Hill.

Wonderful afternoon celebrating the CAYA Advancing Research and Community Health (ARCH) Institute and our partnership with CAYA Collaborative Care.
Housed within the WKU College of Health and Human Services, this Institute brings together applied, hands-on research, faculty expertise and community partnerships to prepare our students for the workforce and tackle local health challenges.
Saddened to learn of the passing of Jim Richards this week. He was such a positive influence on so many. His love of our university was unmatched and he will be deeply missed by the WKU family.
Honored to recognize our newly tenured faculty members and the dedication they bring to WKU. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our students!
Excited to kick off the inaugural WKU Career Development Employer Advisory Board meeting this morning. Grateful for our community partners who share their time and expertise to help Hilltoppers succeed beyond the classroom.
I am excited to announce that Jeremy Utley will join us on Tuesday, November 3, in Van Meter Auditorium as the speaker for WKU’s fourth annual Presidential Speaker Series.
Mr. Utley is an internationally recognized innovation expert, instructor at Stanford Online and Harvard's DCE, and bestselling author. He will present "Making AI More Human", a thought-provoking keynote address exploring how individuals and organizations can unlock the full potential of generative artificial intelligence.
Drawing on cutting-edge research featured in The Wall Street Journal, his presentation will challenge attendees to rethink their relationship with AI and demonstrate practical strategies for using these rapidly evolving tools to enhance creativity, problem-solving and innovation.
As these technologies continue to evolve, thoughtful conversations about their opportunities and implications are increasingly important. Our students, and many of us, are using these tools, and we must consider what role AI should play and how we shape that role with intention, care and integrity.
Additionally, he has generously offered to mail event attendees a free copy of his upcoming book, "The Human Advantage: What AI Can’t Do Without You," once it is released on November 10, 2026.
