Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky has a group called Older Wiser Learners (OWLS). They also have a Nontraditional Student Council, which is a branch of the SGA there. Eastern has a new website for OWLS here. The page is maintained by students. The page features helpful links, photos, and more.

My thanks go out to Amanda King, current President of the OWLS group, who helped to update this information. Thank you so much!

Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky has had a non-traditional student organization in the past.

The Non-Traditional Student Organization (NTSO)

at Western Kentucky University

This WKU group is currently inactive (2007-2008). They once had a chapter at the Main Campus, and one at the South Campus as well. Below is the link to the WKU Non-Traditional Student Information Page:

WKU Non-trads site link Attn: some links on the WKU Non-trads page are no longer current. However, you can still find valuable information here.

I was in the NTSO, or Non-Traditional Student Organization, while I was at Western a few years ago. The last I heard, the NTSO group is not meeting at the campus, but hopefully soon they will start up again.

If you are a WKU student, and are interested, you can start a new group (such as a Nontraditional Student group) anytime. Contact the Student Activities office for more information. at 270-745-2459.
