Cameron Shaw | News Reporter The fragrance of free food and snacks paired with the low vibrations of pop music and voices broke out from South Lawn on Wednesday as local groups and organizations introduced themselves to students as part of the university’s annual welcome-back week. Vendors ranging from churches to city agencies to local businesses offering free gear, giveaways and food to members of the WKU community through Welcome Back WKU, an annual event WKU hosts with the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce. The event is a chance for students to not only find free swag but also an opportunity to meet local groups to develop connections, find jobs and invest in the community.
