Most individuals and most institutions believe they are unique in some way, and Western Kentucky University is 
no different.
Western takes pride in a lovely campus, the friendly spirit that pervades it, and the fierce loyalty of its alumni.*
Among the numerous things that make Western unique are its many varied and rich traditions. From the Red Towel to the Hall of Distinguished Alumni to the Western Spirit, all have helped contribute to that special feeling that one gets from being a part of the Western experience.
