WKU named finalist for Operation Hat Trick 2020 Excellence in Service Award

Operation Hat Trick, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting wounded United States combat veterans, has recognized Western Kentucky University’s outstanding efforts in aiding the recovery of wounded U.S. combat service members and veterans by naming the school a finalist for its 2020 Excellence in Service Award.

In recognition of the school’s impact, OHT will make a donation to the Fisher House of Fort Campbell on the university’s behalf. Operation Hat Trick Founder and President Dot Sheehan presented the Excellence in Service Awards via video conference last week.

“Western Kentucky has shown the kind of devotion and commitment to our veterans we’re hoping to inspire all over the country,” Sheehan said in a news release.
