In an email to WKU faculty & staff, provost Cheryl Stevens said “Days like this are a gift. Please enjoy!”

WKU students used anything they could get their hands on as a sled. Car parts such as side doors and hoods were handy for large amounts of people. Other makeshift sleds included storage box lids, baking sheets, and “Healthy On The Hill” yard signs. (Photo by Veronica Teeter)
