The Rotary Club of Hopkinsville got a visit from the President of Western Kentucky University at Tuesday’s weekly meeting.
President Timothy Caboni was named to that role in 2017 and says during that time, they’ve seen their share of challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting the role of postsecondary education to fit a modern world and paving the way for more students to succeed. He says they have around 150 students from Christian County currently at WKU, and they’re always looking for more.
He says its their goal to make sure potential students are not hindered by the cost of going to college and have greatly expanded their scholarship opportunities.
Caboni says many of their students are the first to attend college in their families and WKU is looking to help them and others like them take the next step in their education.
