“Homecoming is an annual tradition that beckons all Hilltoppers back to their alma mater,” said Caitlin Greenwell, Senior Director of Alumni Engagement and Philanthropy. “At WKU, Homecoming is an important tradition that has been celebrated since the first event took place in 1927. Today, Homecoming still shares many of the original features but has broadened its reach. Now, WKU’s Homecoming is an annual tradition where alumni, students, fans and community members come together to honor WKU’s traditions and history.”

Greenwell said the 2021 Homecoming theme, “Wild, Wild Western: Back in the Saddle Again,” was selected by a special Homecoming Student Advisory Committee composed of representatives from the Residence Hall Association, Hilltopper Organization of Latin American Students, Mahurin Honors College, Interfraternity Council, Student Alumni Ambassadors, Panhellenic Council, National Panhellenic Council, Intercultural Student Engagement Center, Campus Activities Board, Student Government Association and Student Athlete Advisory Council.
