Dear Colleagues:
As we prepare for a return to normal operations so we can provide the full WKU Experience for our Hilltoppers, we must take the steps necessary to prepare. This includes planning for how we transition back to on-campus work.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, WKU has prioritized the health and wellbeing of our community members. The university fully supported those who transitioned their work to their home offices to best protect their families from COVID-19 and also to assist their K-12 children engaged in remote instruction. We are grateful for the creative ways in which you altered your work and appreciate your extraordinary efforts to support our students and meet your job responsibilities during a time of tremendous uncertainty.
