Happy first week of classes, Hilltoppers!

We’re the Talisman — the bright and cheery, eclectic, thoughtful and intelligent voice of WKU — and we’re glad you’re here.

At the end of each semester, we publish a magazine that serves as a beautifully diverse record of life as we know it at WKU. It’s filled with stories that strive to accurately reflect the lives of students on the Hill. We also consistently update our website, WKUTalisman.com, with some of our most creative content.

We hope that you’ll check out these two unique platforms and connect with us on social media. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @WKUTalisman.

And if you’re a creative-minded individual with skills in writing, photography, editing, design, art or marketing, we’d love for you to work with us. We’re always accepting applications for paid positions at WKUTalisman.com/jobs.

It’s a cliché, but it’s worth repeating: our time as WKU students will fly by faster than we think, but don’t worry, the Talisman will be here to capture meaningful moments, tell important stories and help you remember all those little things you don’t want to miss.

Best wishes!

Helen Gibson
