Welcome to the new HOME of WKU Forensics!

Our move into the Tim and Sarah Ford Fieldhouse marks an exciting new chapter for the program. Like every step of our climb, this success is built on relationships: students, coaches, administrators, alumni, and friends who have supported WKU Forensics year after year.

That’s why we’re launching our Reconnection Campaign.

Our goal is simple: we want 100% of the gang to complete the form at wkualumni.org/forensicsalumni so we can stay connected with the people who power our program. Whether you graduated decades ago or just recently left The Hill, we want to hear from you.

We also hope you’ll join us in our new home on September 18–19, 2026, for Alumni Weekend 2026. We’re planning a weekend full of forensics fellowship, shared memories, and joyful nostalgia. Come celebrate where we’ve been, see where we are, and help us imagine where we’re going.

If you’re prepared for AW(e) PUT YOUR FOURS UP! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Even if you can’t attend Alumni Weekend, please take a moment to follow the link in our bio and update your information so we can stay in touch.

If you’re a student interested in joining the climb this fall contact [email protected].

Like many great directors before him, John Travolta asks an essential question, “Does the beret make the director?”

We KNOW the success of WKU Forensics isn’t about one individual in a conspicuous hat, but the hundreds of students, coaches, administrators, and alumni supporting our climb year after year!

That’s why we’re launching this reconnection campaign. Our goal is to have 100% of our Forensics fam complete this form so we can stay in better contact with the people who power our program.

We hope to welcome you to our new home in the Tim and Sarah Ford Fieldhouse on September 18-19, 2026. We are planning a weekend of forensics fellowship and joyful nostalgia. Join us for Alumni Weekend 2026 and prepare for AW(e)!

Even if you can’t make the weekend, please follow the link in our bio and update your information to stay in touch.

See you in September! No berets involved. We promise!

Earlier this morning, we celebrated a historic moment for WKU Forensics with the opening of our new home in the Tim and Sarah Ford Fieldhouse.

This space honors the incredible legacy of our program, one built over generations of students, coaches, and alumni, and marks an exciting new chapter for our team. For the first time, we have a place to call our own, where we can train, collaborate, and continue pursuing excellence together.

We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible. We cannot wait for our alumni to return and see it and for future Hilltoppers to step inside and become part of this legacy.
