Spend Your Summer at WKU
Summer Conference Housing
Are you interested in hosting your summer conference at WKU?
Our residence halls are a great space for your summer conference guests to stay.
We welcome educational, professional, or religious organizations, as well as youth groups and sports clinics. Whatever kind of group you may want to host, we have a space for you!
Summer conferences can be hosted in the residence halls anytime between June 1 through July 31. Short and long-term groups can be accommodated.
We look forward to seeing you this summer at WKU!
Each double occupancy conference hall bedroom contains two of the following:
- XL Twin Bed (80"x36")
- Chest of Drawers
- Desks
- Desk Chairs
- Closets/Wardrobes
- Trash Cans
All residence halls are air conditioned.
Linens, pillows, and refrigerators are not provided by the University. Participants are asked to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. The group organizers are responsible for providing any emergency supplies.
At this time, Housing & Residence Life does not have meeting space available in the summer conference residence halls. There are two conference rooms available for rent in the HRL central office, located in Southwest Hall. Please contact Randall Farris at (270) 745-2090 for rates and availability.
