Long-term athletic trainer celebrates retirement after 47 years

WKU athletics and alumni association staff gathered at theE.A. Diddle Arena Hall of Champions to celebrate the retirement of a long-time colleague.

Bill Edwards, often referred to as Doc. E, has been a part of WKU for 47 years. On Jun 30, Edwards will be retiring from his current position as Associate Athletic Director. Edwards will stay on as a “100 day” part-time employee with WKU athletics.

Edwards said he was first introduced to WKU in the 60’s when his father and grandfather would bring him to football games. In his remarks at the celebration, Edwards recalled that not attending WKU as a student wasn’t an option because of the love he already had for the university.
