A special moment surprising our Cheer and Dance coaches with a new permanent home in E.A. Diddle Arena for both teams!
A new chapter for @CheerWKU and @WKUTopperettes ❤️ For the first time, WKU Cheer & Dance have a place to call their own inside E.A. Diddle Arena. From a shared locker room to dedicated coaches’ offices, this new space marks a dedicated home for both teams. #WKU #WKUCheer #WKUDance
