The WKU class of 2023 had the opportunity to participate in MASTER Plan, a transition program for incoming freshman to assimilate into life on the Hill. During the week of Aug. 19, classes were held throughout the day, and students had the chance to participate in activities during the evening. A few Talisman photographers covered the events as they unfolded throughout the week.
