Welcome to the English Department Alumni Page! We’re glad you’re visiting us virtually and would love to have you visit us in person. To facilitate a visit, we’ve included travel and parking information here: Directions & Parking. We also invite you to scroll down and explore profiles of our alumni to see the many career and professional options that are available to English majors! If you are an alum yourself, we would love to learn more about you, what you’ve been doing since graduation, and how your experience in the WKU English Department helped you in your life and career, so please complete our ALUMNI SURVEY. If you would be willing to allow us to share your story, we’re in the process of producing alumni profiles for the web to help all alumni keep track of each other and to help prospective and current majors learn about the possibilities of an English major. Just check the box on the survey if we can share your story. All best wishes, Head of English
