Bowling Green sophomore Brittney Wilson and her 15-month-old son Jeremiah McCombs moved into the Bowling Green Scholar House from Regency Park Apartments about two months ago.

It came at a good time for Wilson, who works at Wal-Mart.

“With my job, my hours got cut down a lot,” she said.

Morgantown senior Julie Scott and Clifty senior Heather Williams got their hands dirty this weekend helping plant Western’s herb garden and learning to take apart a bicycle.

They attended the Campus Community Partnerships for Sustainability Conference, an annual event to bring together Kentucky colleges and communities to work toward a more sustainable future.

Robin Rathje said she just happened to be in the right place at the right time to find a job she loves.

Last summer she made the move from Michigan to Bowling Green so her significant other could pursue a master’s degree at Western.

Rathje said she had never thought about being a hall director until someone suggested she talk to Lynne Holland, associate director of Housing and Residence Life, about a job.

Classes will end soon for Western students, but there won’t be a summer break for construction on campus. Officials presented the Capital Construction Project Status Report to the Board of Regents on Friday, said Bryan Russell, director of planning, design and construction.
