WKU’s 183rd Commencement will be conducted Friday (May 11) at Houchens Industries-L.T. Smith Stadium immediately following the Topper Walk as WKU faculty and the Class of 2018 make their way from the Kentucky Museum into the stadium. The Topper Walk will begin at 5 p.m. The ceremony will be followed by the Big Red Bash on the WKU South Lawn as graduates celebrate with family and friends.
