On April 23rd, WKU Alive Center and Hill House organized an Open event for the community. It is the biggest event in the year for the neighborhood and WKU students and faculty staffs. With the sponsorship from Pepsi, Houchens, All Seasons Grill, etc and many individual sponsors, the Hill House got a lot of good food and soft drinks for serving. The purpose of this event is to introduce about the Hill House community development project and to build up a connection between WKU campus and the community.

Students in the Hill House with WKU Alive staffs welcomed all guests and neighbors. All of us enjoyed the roasted pork, potato salad, black beans hamburgers and many other foods. Neighbors started the talk and all of us were enjoying the food and talking with each other. It was a sunny day and we all felt comfortable. After that, we had a presentation inside the Hill House. Leah Ashwill, the director of the WKU Alive Center talked about the establishment of the House and its objectives. Then each of the student living in the House presented their expertise in community work and application in academic background. A lot of WKU students, who are also regular comers to Sunday dinner at the Hill House attended the event.
