Members of Western Kentucky University's class of 2015 attach their class pins Tuesday during the WKU Freshman Assembly at E.A. Diddle Arena.

The message to incoming students was clear Tuesday night at Western Kentucky University’s Freshman Assembly: finish your degree. That theme was brought home by current students, alumni and administrators through the course of the assembly in E.A. Diddle Arena. WKU Provost Gordon Emslie asked students to pledge their commitment to finishing their degree.
