In the DSU Nite Class, 29 WKU Greek organizations met to wrap Christmas gifts for 33 children sponsored through the Angel Tree program. According to its website, the Angel Tree program is an extension of the Salvation Army where donors purchase Christmas gifts for underprivileged children and senior citizens. Andrew Rash, the associate director of Student Activities, said this is the fourth year WKU Greek organizations have worked with the Angel Tree program.

WKU community celebrates another year on the Hill at ‘Hilltopper Family Fall Gathering’ President Timothy Caboni invited students, faculty and staff to a “Hilltopper Family Fall Gathering” on Tuesday inside the Commons at Helm Library. This event encouraged people to come together and reflect on the past year on the Hill, according to WKU’s website. Fall treats and apple cider were also provided to attendees. Jace Lux, director of media relations and WKU’s spokesperson, said that last year, WKU did a similar event to the “Hilltopper Family Fall Gathering,” but it was only for faculty and staff. Lux said opening the event to students was Caboni’s idea this year to create something for the entire campus to enjoy.
