Holly Adams walked through the hall of E.A. Diddle Arena while the audience in the arena cheered for the graduates.

Adams, a Cave City native who received her Master Degree in Middle Grade Education Teacher Leader, said her mom and stepdad had come to Bowling Green to watch both her and her sister graduate. Adams received her undergrad in Middle Grades Education a few years ago, and since then, she has worked for a school in Glasgow.

During her time at WKU, Adams said one of her favorite memories was from her in time as a undergrad when she had to walk up the hill in a boot.

Although her days at WKU are over, Adams said she will still be close to the WKU community because she works nearby in Glasgow.

“I don’t feel like I’m really leaving,” Adams said.
