Week four at WKU brought communities together across the Hill and beyond. As we celebrated four weeks, Greek organizations welcomed their new members and sports teams experienced tough losses in Diddle Arena. Then our community celebrated a soccer senior night and Hispanic heritage in Bowling Green. View the Talisman photographer’s work as they captured the best moments from last week!
