WKU delivers Perfect Day to Recovering Community

In the early morning hours of December 11, 2021, life changed for many that live in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Just hours earlier, different squalls of tornadoes ravaged western Kentucky, stretching from Fulton County to northwestern Grayson County, impacting nearly everything in its’ path.

Communities rallied around one another and truly showed the embodiment of the Kentucky state motto “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.”

Last weekend, just 18 hours after sections of Bowling Green were destroyed, the Western Kentucky University Men’s Basketball team took the floor in Atlanta and took down SEC foe Ole Miss.
