Director, Kelly M. Burch Institute for Practices in Higher Education
I've always loved this University and this campus. What could be better than helping incoming freshmen see in WKU what I see? Building relationships with students during M.A.S.T.E.R. plan and helping them navigate a potentially stressful transition to college is not only helpful for them but has always been fun for me.
Assistant Professor, Organizational Leadership
Being a cluster facilitator for M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan has always been a rewarding experience. For the past three years, I've been able to meet the students in my Living Learning Community and start building relationships with them before our class even meets. I cannot emphasize how much that has made a difference for both me as an LLC Fellow and our LLC participants!
Assistant Director of Student Activities- Leadership & Volunteerism
Serving as a M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan Cluster facilitator is an opportunity to influence Hilltoppers as soon as they arrive to WKU. As a Cluster Facilitator, you have a unique experience of offering advice to our incoming students and sharing all the things “you wished students would know before classes begin.” I have loved my experiences as a Cluster facilitator and recommend it to any faculty or staff on the hill.

The energy at M.A.S.T.E.R Plan is palpable. Veteran Hilltoppers share WKU traditions and tips for success in a fun environment. This week of connection and easing into campus life is invaluable.

I have LOVED being serving as a cluster facilitator! M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan week is a great time to connect with students and make meaningful connections. Plus the role is fun!
Cluster Facilitators play an essential role to Hilltoppers during their first days at WKU. If you're ready to engage with students and help them succeed, sign up to be a Cluster Facilitator during M.A.S.T.E.R. Plan at WKU!
